    Ok ok, 25 days it's November 18
    If on Monday November 21 I will fill up company truck without any problems, then I am right you all victim of Russian stupid propaganda who believe in everything you see on an internet especially about America on a brink of collapse.

    I guess all the high prices at the grocery store are Russian propaganda too. Even the article says it happened in 2008. Yes there will probably be diesel available on November 21st but likely at a higher price. The cost of living and cost to do biz is so much better now than it was two years ago. Are you on another planet?

    SUPPLY AND DEMAND!!!

    If people weren't buying fuel for such high rates, they wouldn't be selling it for so much. This is all the customers fault. They set the rates for fuel. It's simple. Supply and demand, right? Just like it's the carriers fault for the low rates posted on the load boards, right?

    Yes more demand since covid is waning is a factor but not the main contributing one.Oh yea and covid is a cause as well..hmmm. That' also doesn't explain why more money has been printed in the past two years than ever. Yes the CCP and Russia are loving this.

    Let's just ignore the half dozen refineries that are being reconfigured for renewable diesel production. They never restarted after the Covid shutdown and put one hell of a dent in diesel supplies, which is what is driving the higher diesel prices. And that's on top of the fact that half of the East Coast refineries have permenantly shut down in the last 15 years.

    Many refineries have been down for maintenance and coming back online soon.

    There was also two tankers diverted back to the states from their destination in Europe. That’s 2 million barrels each or combined, I forget.

    In the mean time our oil reserves are at their lowest in 40 years.
