Help me out here.

Why is diesel increasing at a higher rate than unleaded?

They both use the same oil right?

Is there something else in the refining process causing this?

Ukraine bombed some russian refineries that provided a big percentage of the diesel to europe

So thank the ukraine

And us/nato for continuing to fund that war

So this is a refining capacity issue only for diesel.

Diesel is a middle Distillate, as is Heating Oil, some Jet Fuels, Kerosene, etc.

In Jet turbines, you can run Jet fuel, Kerosene, Heating Oil. My nephew builds Jet powered air boats, they run on a number of products, diesel being one.

Gasoline is a blend, with a number of products.

There is no shortage of diesel this week. High prices will keep that in check.



Got that right... Stopped driving the Diesel and started driving the gas guzzeler.

Shoot it's though for me... I imagine it is devastating to those who live in the country and have to drive to the city for work daily.

I am expecting country properties to start flooding the market and homes in the city becoming scarce.

I just saw $6.50 here in Houston. That’s fricking nuts. That’s at least $3000 in fuel from now to February for the hunts I will make.

. Will the Diesel Crisis Decide the 2026 Elections? Martin Armstrong

quote:

The shortage is not coming from a single event. The war with Iran and insecurity around the Strait of Hormuz have disrupted Middle Eastern refining and shipping. Ukrainian drone attacks have damaged Russian refineries and forced Moscow to restrict fuel exports while importing products to address its domestic shortages. China has reduced exports, and American refineries are already operating near capacity. U.S. distillate inventories have fallen to their lowest seasonal level in decades while exports have increased to meet desperate foreign demand. This is a global competition for a shrinking pool of refined fuel, and no political speech can manufacture a barrel of diesel.

Can't believe all you baws with your F250's, with truck nuts, that cost $75,000 or more are worried about diesel prices, especially you plant baws that earn the big bucks.

Go find yourselves a Prius or a Ducky jeep.

I saw that they’ve hit several refineries.

Gavin Newsom shutting California refineries isn’t helping either.

It's 25 dollars in gas to mow the yard on the zero turn. I was mowing every 5 days.


And you live on what, 40+ acres?

I have a hard time believing you are spending $25 every time you cut the grass. Unless you have tons of acres you are cutting. and if you had tons of acres to cut I seriously doubt you’re doing it with battery operated mowers.

Nothing you said makes sense.
