re: Diesel has reached $6/Gallon for first time in U.S. History as a National Average

Are you saying to nationalize the refining sector? Because it sounds like you are saying nationalize the refining sector, comrade.
Aren't we doing that with Venezuela and how we're giving the keys over to Big Oil there? So, a little taste to, umm, the same Big Oil stateside wouldn't be so terrible I guess. Unless, it's not about America First at all... isn't that strange, Patriot?

Yes, prices will always go up.
In 1950, the headline was "Diesel has reached $1/Gallon for the FIRST TIME IN HISTORY"
Not true. Adjusted for inflation, gas, milk and technology (TVs, computers, printers, cell phones) have gone down in price.
Diesel impacts everything shipped across the country and will lead to pretty big inflation come Q1/Q2. We’ve been able to stave off big inflationary hits due to tapping strategic oil reserves. But, no pun intended, that well is about to start running dry.
Fed needs to raise rates yesterday! We are all about to drown in inflationary waters.

Well, venezuela can nationalize their oil if they like. Plenty of countries do.

So, let's say we ran out the old 'in the interest of National Security' one-liner DC loves to use since 9/11. If Washington were to insist on and invest in the reopening of shuttered refineries, to you, they would be Communist traitors?

White House Weighs Defense Production Act as U.S. Refineries Maxed Out
By Julianne Geiger - Sep 11, 2026, 3:21 PM CDT
The White House is considering using the Defense Production Act to add U.S. refining capacity, with American refineries already running at 98% capacity and diesel prices above $6 per gallon for the first time.
The proposal was discussed during President Donald Trump’s recent meeting with nearly a dozen U.S. refiners, according to Reuters. No decision has been made, and discussions are expected to continue.
Refining executives told administration officials that federal money would produce more barrels faster if it were used to expand existing plants or improve refinery efficiency. Building an entirely new refinery would cost billions and take years.
The Defense Production Act gives the president authority to provide financial assistance and direct industrial resources toward materials and capacity considered necessary for national defense.
Trump laid the groundwork in April, when he issued a presidential determination declaring domestic petroleum production, refining and logistics capacity essential to national defense. The order authorized purchases, purchase commitments and financial instruments under Section 303 of the DPA to increase that capacity.
U.S. refiners have little spare room today. Refinery utilization reached 98% in late August after spending three consecutive months above 95%, the longest such stretch since 2000.

You odd characters who say complainers are poor don't know any hard working 1 ton truck driving guys we take it. Regular folks in rural counties who use their trucks to work with and not just run from home to the office or plant in. Is my assumption right? You're city boys?
I’ve come to appreciate the schtick reply from that baw on the GOA drillship. Kind of like the poster on here who would reply “Walk Ons” with a drool emoji when a recommendation for a restaurant was requested.

I just paid $3.15. I'm doing great.
Posted on 9/11/26 at 4:38 pm to BottomlandBrew
I do, I’m not absolving the fact $6 diesel is bad. I am simply pointing out that the headline would lead the uninformed to believe it’s the most expensive it has ever been.

I don’t give two shits about Iran. I just want lower gas prices.

Your $600.00 spent on inflated groceries to get the discount points at the pump to save $5.00 is an all-time win. Save that receipt.

There are probably 100 questions on thst hypothetcal.
It would likely result in higher energy prices as well. I would not be fir it.

Feel free to ask The Whitehouse those questions, and offer your superior experience and support to this ludicrous plan. You're instrumental in this. Go get this done, for the greater good, Patriot.

This was a stupid war to go into. Even if you believe the reasoning behind it, you can't still believe Iran has the ability to make a nuke. We long ago took away their ability to make a nuke. How long ago just depends on who you listen to and believe. T
We'll we've listened to Bibi twice now about impending nukes coming from countries that start w/Ira in the ME so maybe we should stop taking the shite that dude says at face value?

I've been eating from the freezer. Vacuum seal deer meat and duck ground meat etc the last 2 years.

54.2 million barrels. That’s how much diesel US oil companies exported in August. US consumers used 113 million barrels of diesel.
Now imagine how much cheaper the gas would have been had those exports stayed in the US.
