Why gas and diesel don't come down as fast as the price of crude.

Total global oil production since 1970 is up 113%. (And U.S. production has nearly tripled since 2008.)
Yet the total number of US refineries in 2026 is 130, down from 319 in 1980. During that time, demand for gasoline has increased significantly because our population grew by an additional 100 million people.
You can pump all the crude oil you want, but if you can’t convert it into gasoline and diesel, it doesn’t matter, at least not for gas prices.
Why did this happen? Because blue states closed refineries to move toward stupid "Net Zero" and "Green New Deal" goals. And Democrat Presidents from Carter to Biden imposed restrictions on refinery construction so draconian that no one could afford to build...if they could even get a permit.
But sure, blame Trump, the first President to actually do something about it. Instead, elect the people who TOLD YOU they wanted to "ban fossil fuels" and push the price of gas over $10/gal., and then relentlessly implemented policies to get us as far in that direction as they could.

If we originally had 319 in 1980...I wonder if they could be reopened or if they've been dismantled.

Greed?

the US exports approximately 1.3 million barrels of diesel per day, which is nearly a quarter of its refining output.

We did not have a shortage in 1987.

Our largest diesel refinery, located in Illinois, is currently out of order due to extended power outage on both the primary and secondary power lines …. and they don’t appear to be in any rush to repair the problem.
Sketchy …..
