Gulf Coast refineries are running very hard and sending record diesel abroad because Europe, Latin America, and others will pay up. That keeps U.S. inventories tight even though America is a net exporter.

Just wanted to point that out.

Free market at work.


War in Ukraine probably burns up a lot of diesel.

I don’t understand how this stuff works, but I do know diesel prices stateside are high as hell. And I understand that high fuel costs trickle down to absolutely everything else.

That war has cost the supply an estimated 1 out of 9 BPD. But again, the USA is propping up the world.

We are a net exporter, and should we decide to keep it, our prices would go WAY down. However.... getting product here will cost more because those we are propping up will have less.

It would have to be very strategic in who to cut off to lower prices here.

Yes let’s wreck the US oil and gas industry business model to try and make up for Trumps stupidity in Iran.

But raise our trade deficit, which must be cut at all costs, even if it means higher prices for US consumers.... so I'm told.

This started during the Biden administration.

Crack spread wasn’t there for our refineries to refine more diesel and Ukraine hit Russia.

Now we have a shortage and it will take time to catch up.

Most of the diesel we do import comes from Canada. Good thing Trump is about to hit them with 100% tariffs.

I say Trump should increase that tariff to 300% because 1) the OP and his merry band of Mensas have repeatedly instructed us that tariffs decrease costs and 2) We really need to destroy the Canadian economy because, well, they have been screwing us selling us discounted oil and 3) America will be richer when Canadians pay that 300% tariff
