A big part of it is taxes. To reduce road use taxes on the big trucking companies, they increases the taxes on diesel so those who have diesel cars or pickups now have to pay part of the road use taxes for big trucks.Actually, it's demand. The sellers charge more stateside because they can get away with it. Demand in Mexico and Brazil is lower because the population doesn't have as much wealth to spend on fuel.
By the way, why should we become a net importer again? How the hell is reducing production supposed to bring prices down?
