Well, here's my $0.02. Some states, (Ca being one) has low sulfer in dyed diesel. Not sure about changes in content, but much of the sulfer in the air of the NE was from high sulfer coal burned in Midwest coal-burning power plants. They had really tall stacks so that it spread far and wide. They were mandated to gradually reduce their sulfer dioxide through scrubbers, and the implementation of those requirements was one of the black-eyes the Bush administration got because they slipped the time-table for some older plants. Regarding sulfer in fertilizer, ammonium sulphate used to be the dominant form, but its' replacement with ammonium nitrate occurred because it was higher analysis and cheaper because of shipping costs per unit of N. So, the sulfer was eliminated from many fertilizers. A cheap source of S (if your soil test says you need it) is gypsum, which also supplies calcium. Supposed to be neutral in effects on soil pH too, unlike many other forms of sulfer which drive it down.
