It's tits on a boar hog. Pipelines have been reversed to the Gulf Coast. We don't import from the Middle East any longer.

The SPR has only been used to keep some price stability, never for any oil shortage. Buying would only serve to make the price go up. By treaty before it was ever created, EU gets to use it for supply first

Wasn’t diesel a wasteful by-product of refining gasoline, that was so plentiful it was priced cheaper than gas.

Then the EPA got involved and started mandating Ultralow sulfur diesel that increased the costs of refining and that is why it is more expensive than gasoline.

I wouldn’t call diesel a “wasteful byproduct” of gasoline production, but it’s true that the shift to ULSD flipped the price differential between diesel and gasoline.

Higher demand and higher fed taxes played a part here as well.

Point taken…I guess I was thinking about how much oil was being used for gasoline and other distillates and diesel consumption was lower than today and that it was more plentiful byproduct oil than other refined uses of oil. Meaning there was more of a surplus of it yielding a lower cost before the increase in demand and new refining techniques needed to produce ultra low sulfur diesel.

We better fill the Strategic Reserves with all this cheap oil.

Im torn about this; hopefully it screws OPEC the hardest, and we use our own oil and sell the rest.


Who is “we”?

Oil is owned by companies who drill for it and who can sell to whoever they want.

And fwiw, “we” export more oil today than ever

Not sure. I know there are currently 4 being built for a Datacenter complex we're building in west Texas.
