Reports are starting to come out that various regions in the Southeastern U.S. are running out of diesel fuel [North Carolina Example] – [Midway Kentucky Example].
The empty service station tanks in North Carolina today come after Mansfield Energy warned of a critical “diesel fuel shortage in the Southeastern United States, including North and South Carolina” [link]
RALEIGH, N.C. (WNCN) — A diesel fuel alert issued a week ago by a key fuel logistics company hasn’t changed — despite a small increase in inventories of diesel over the last week. The alert from Mansfield Energy a week ago was for the Southeastern United States, including North and South Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, and Maryland.
The low supply left the Southeastern United States with just 25 days worth of diesel fuel, the company said. U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) reported Friday those numbers were actually down a bit from last week along the East Coast.
Low supplies make it difficult to find the fuel quickly, which means trucks have to visit several terminals and “strains local trucking capacity,” the company said. The low supplies also mean an increase in prices for diesel. On Friday, diesel prices opened up 10 cents for the week, Mansfield said. (read more)

This diesel shortage is threatening to crush America’s truckers and farmers—the backbone of our economy. The entire supply chain will feel the impact.
RT if you agree: Biden needs to wake up to this crisis and unleash American energy production NOW.

If you haven’t stocked up on food – now would be the time. There’s no food on the shelves without diesel.
Stock up and stay stocked up. Heating oil and diesel are the same thing . When it gets cold, the demand for heating oil will go way up, further straining the diesel supply.
You can bet the profits of these companies who produce diesel are making record profits
Don’t buy into their narrative. You will literally starve without diesel fuel, ideology not withstanding.
Are denying profits worth starving Americans for?
Get you head out of whatever crevice it is now in.
The left will not mourn your death.
Ideologues are gonna be the death of this country. No strategy..just ideology.
Amen to that.
So? What does that have to do with Green New Deal Communists destroying the country?
POTATUS is on TV bragging about shutting down coal. The regime may not survive if people get cold and hungry.
And I don’t just mean survive in the political sense. The absence of food, fuel, and HEAT IN WINTER changes everything.
What’s next, Martial Law? Bet the National Guard has plenty diesel in stock.
Then add another 20 to 30 million “invaders” that have high expectations of arriving at the ‘Land of Free Stuff’.
When it gets cold and they are hungry, they won’t care where they get their food.
I thought my TV was on.
But alas.. it is merely Sanjac.
By the way.. Why not take a profit?
WHY would any company targeted for destruction by the junta dare to risk ANY expansion/investment?
Would you invest your life savings in threatened places or take it home and stuff it under the mattress?
Making record profits on having nothing to sell? Did you even give a moment of thought to your comment or are you just trolling?
There are those who are making money off of these government engineered shortages and many of them are hoping to be elected next Tuesday.
Lower investments due to regulations lowers costs. When costs go down, profits go up. Proven wells keep producing and operational costs of proven wells are far less then exploration for new wells.
Tell us all how you don’t understand that fuel prices are an inflation leader/loser. “Record profits” on over 4T lost between late 2020 and early 2022.
I didn’t know AOC trolled this site…
Yep there’s another bidephile.
Everything is dependent on diesel. Field to fork, diesel. Gasoline to the stations, diesel. Vehicles that service airliners, diesel. Everything you buy, touch or use got to that place by a diesel train and truck.
The feds are idiots.
Not idiots, rather saboteurs.
Don’t for many of our military ships require diesel fuel also
Kinda the reasoning behind the strategic oil supply.
Bingo!
Thank goodness JoeBama didn’t drain it completely… what an idiot
So it’s a good thing POTATUS has been using the strategic reserves to try and save politician jobs…
….and the ukraine.
Ships usually use a heavier oil called “Bunker C”, though military gas turbine ships use something like kerosene.
Most military vehicles use diesel.
We are exporting diesel to Europe, and they are also buying diesel from other sellers who usually sell to us, particularly to East coast ports. Europe usually buys Russian diesel.
We are starting to buy Russian diesel, through ? Cyprus ? where Rusdian crude is refined, transforming it into non embargoed Cyprus diesel.
It’s all about who gets the graft. John in Indy
This sounds beyond convoluted!!! Not to mention way more expensive than necessary.
Most of our non-nuclear ships are powered by turbine engines that run on jet fuel. It is a distillate of crude, and similar to diesel, but not the same.
all intentional and going according to plan
The economy’s of the world runs on fossil fuels. The civilized works needs fossil fuel. You can just throw a switch and turn it off.
Well, yes you can turn it all off. But don’t expect anything to work after that.
And good luck trying to restart production in the depths of winter. Especially when the “government” can shut you down in a heartbeat.
this is UN Agenda 2030 and sponsored by the WEF infiltrators in your local government. our corporations and regulators have all bought into this sustainability crap. A self fulfilling prophecy brought to you by the WEF paid off mercenaries to blow up food processing plants and refineries and brought to you by Biden Inc that created the Ukraine war fiasco. We have walked into a pincer trap. The communists have created a strategic scenerio designed to create global shortages and maximum civil unrest and deaths of hundreds of millions. Remember Covid Vxx is all part of the same set of tactics.
Just a thought: unless an individual is independently wealthy they are not going to be able to stock up on food now. They’re probably barely making it from week to week, assuming “it’s got to get better”.
3/4 of the things I have always routinely purchased (and had stocked up on, beginning the day that joe and jill moved into the White House….) 3/4 of those things no longer make my shopping list. No point. It’s not sustainable, and there’s no point in pretending it is. It’s important that I live in peace from day to day, and fighting with somebody over a grocery item doesn’t leave much room for peace.
When the clueless finally do wake up, a grocery store aisle of any kind is definitely not the place you want to be.
Camping cookware and long term storage food or camping freeze dried food last decades.
Yup.
Besides the stocking up that comes with personal shopping, our family is also well supplied with the long range supplies from patriot food supply, etc.
That is so very true Sharon.
How exactly is some one suppose to “stock up” on anything with out money which comes in and goes right back out as fast.
Most families have paychecks which are already budgeted for the necessities like food, shelter, heat, transportation and other necessities and live paycheck to paycheck.
There is very little left to “stock up” with.
They know well already that things are scarce and the price of EVERYTHING is going up every single time they go to the store.
The situation in America is very tense now and Biden is riding a firecracker that has been lit.
I am thinking that most people are already awake, very few are clueless.
They just do not know exactly what to do about the situation they are living in but will decide after the election on tuesday.
If the dems try to steal it all bets are off.
I sincerely hope they do not.
If they do try to steal and commit too much fraud God Help Us All.
In blue states the people believe the propaganda media and are blaming Republicans for inflation and supply shortages.
It’s not a matter of the trying. That’s a given. It’s a matter of whether or not they’re successful. This the time to fast and pray.
Maybe they don’t need to steal it. Just declare martial law and suspend the election as the streets are now too dangerous for all the fearful people to go out to vote.
Then wait until the people are cold and hungry and willing to welcome the government to fix things. Communism will be okay as long as people are being fed. Sounds like the plan to me.
You don’t need to out run the bear. Just enough people that he stops.
Also try and learn a little about local wild edibles. Gardening will be a nice treat but you can’t feed your people on it most likely. I’m just coming around to this so any info would be appreciated.
Growing our own food is an excellent plan until the government forbids it or expropriates it for those they deem needier than you.
Sorry at that point the government is us, namely the surviours.
Some rules are made to be broken. Ammo up for whoever tries to stop you
I can eat my neighbors.
Stock up on tenderizer.
Is Scalise that obtuse? Biden CAUSED IT, not unaware or ignoring it. It’s republicanism like this that lets the air out of victory.
Agreed! But, its a good display of whom to get rid of!
Its a feature of this administration. Skip the nooses and street lamps. They need to be drawn and quartered. For all their malfeasance.
The Rs are the uniparty’s shock absorber to take and dissipate voter anger when the Ds get people too riled up. Lots of hearings with soundbites that Hannity can play, tick tock, tick tock, but no real action.
A man of words and not of deeds is like a garden full of weeds.
Steve Scalise is no better then Mitch or Kevin but he pretends to be even after being almost killed by a communist he still bats for the enemy
Perhaps some shrapnel entered his brain.
exactly! why aren’t they screaming at the top of their lungs that this cabal in dc is a bunch of traitors; that they are intentionally destroying the country and killing people; and when we take back the legislative branch there will be trials. right after we unleash the economy; dismantle the deep state and put the swamp dwellers back in their boxes
In Scalise’s defense, we are only days from an election. Do you really want him to come out and accuse Biden of deliberately causing the shortage now? Can you image the field day the Demonrats and the co-conspirators in the press will have with this?
Right now, there are about 500k Karens who are not happy with Biden or at least perceive nothing gets better with him from here on out. They are conflicted because of how they feel about Republicans, but they will probably go ahead and vote for them because they aren’t feeling too comfy with the D’s right now either.
Scalise is probably holding his powder for after the election and hoping for enough of a blow out that he can finally all let loose on the Demonrats and tell it like it is.
“Do you really want him to come out and accuse Biden of deliberately causing the shortage now?”
Yes.
Trump isn’t just our candidate. he’s our murder weapon, and the GOP is our victim.
..we good. now?
blogosphere talking head
Making excuses for the Republican party has gotten so old. That’s why I voted for Trump. Personally, I’m done with their shoulda, coulda, wouldas.
YES, WE DO!
You don’t hold your powder until after an election. You point to the culprit and alert the zombies who to get rid of, and you call it out immediately and ongoing.
We don’t need no wishy-washy politicians. That is what got us in trouble in the 1st place.
Yes, indeedy!
Bingo! And until now Scalise has not fought any of the Louisiana oil shut downs. Nothing. The politician from Louisiana are phoney. Where has he been?
They don’t call it the “Stupid Party” for nothing! 🙄
Morphing into the Evil Party…
TERM LIMITS. They all go into office pledging to be for the people but then the bribes start and the money and power take over. Very few do not participate in the corruption.
A total revamp of the Feds is called for, sooner than later.
Morphed into the evil party. Well past tense.
A slow motion train wreck.
This will cause further ripples elsewhere due to supply chain complexity.
Count on the regime to do nothing to alleviate it, rather they will excaberate it and claim to be “helping”.
Eventually the same will happen with gasoline if these demonic bastards have their way.
Too many idle jacks in west TX that could be producing.
Time for some state governors (Abott?) to tell joe to piss off.
Gas is distributed by diesel burning trucks.
Exactly!
Good post. Abbott is weak.
I’m a Texan. 🙌🤟🙌
Am sure RDS is studying Abbott as to “what not to do”…(which is nothing).
So am I and I agree, he’s very weak.
So many are still asleep……,
The alarm will soon wake them up.
start lynching politicians now, this will fix itself in two days
You’re trying to cure a symptom.
The refinery mishaps…..as unexplained have come home to roost
This is why diesel is in short supply
We can’t refine it
The sabatouers are many but they can’t hide any more
We can’t refine what we can’t drill for.
This just shows that the DemonRats do not care about the upcoming elections because if they did, they would NEVER have let things get this far.
Imagine- we are 3 days out from the most important election of this generation and they just don’t give AF that they are shutting down our country.
The Bidenista Bolsheviks must be ultra confident that they don’t need our votes, that they have the cheating all figured out. I cannot think of any other explanation.
This is the most frightening thing yet- they are literally going to shut down our country, come hell or high water.
Why isn’t this the NUMBER ONE TOPIC at every rally and every event for the GOP candidates?
Why aren’t the Repubs screaming about this from the rooftops??
I just bought home heating oil for $5.89 a gallon. We go through 1000 gallons during the NY winter. This is not sustainable.
Maybe they know they will lose so they are trashing the place on the way out the door. They will then blame the incomers for causing all the woes. Classic political move.
Your theory seems to correspond to some of the rhetoric I have heard lately. “If the R’s win they will purposely tank the economy.” Personally I don’t believe anything can stop what’s coming. Too much damage has been done and its the long game shit like fertilizer and lower crop yields that take a while to notice and likewise to repair.
This is why they will allow the “red” wave. It gives them someone else to blame when people freeze and starve to death this winter. Classic UNiparty move!
Burn the Uniparty at the stake, stuff their pockets with all their insider trading money.
That should make a nice warm fire
They shrug their shoulders and say so what
They’re close to the edge
Won’t take that long. Nearly all of my farming neighbors have already decided to significantly scale back their planting
They will still have until January to really screw us over.
More likely, they know they will “win.” See 2020 election for reference.
The Bolshevik Dems are confident. Why wouldn’t they be with McCarthy, McConnell and the RINO’s thwarting any pushback against their Stalinist tactics.
They do not have to cheat. Even if we win the House and the Senate, without a purge of the letter agencies which can only happen with a win in 2024, they have plenty of time to finish us and President Trump off.
They will prolong Election Day to election week/and or they will contest every race they feel they should have won.
@Senaca….This occurred to me too sir. I thought I saw genuine concern a bit in the summer but who knows. Sorry for being such a nihilist but I suspected the SCOTUS decision to overturn RvW was to light a fire under the ass of the Left’s base. In a way I found that as a positive because let’s face it if they truly don’t care about elections that’s not good.
Then two weeks ago the little stunt of mandating the vaccines on school children. Look I know the left is filled with ideological morons but this is a bridge too far for even me. Why not wait until the lame duck session to go through with this? Was there some sort of hard deadline that had to be met? This time a year ago this little dog and pony show would not have been political suicide but the uptake for children and even the new boosters is very small.
Not sure why every single R hasn’t jumped on this. Its a softball of stupidity to attack the enemy. I have no faith the attention span of the average American voter even processes it at this point but the optics of doing it should have been a death knell. This should be an interesting week to put it mildly. It’s really very hard to gauge what the outcome will be or how this plays out. We shall know soon enough though but I certainly wouldn’t expect the answers to come by Tuesday night lol.
There is no way we should downplay this purposeful diesel fuel shortage. It’s a death blow, especially when combined with the heating fuel restrictions. Make no mistake, the game is afoot, and they’re playing to win, by any means necessary.
Exactly.
Ain’t seen nothing yet!
Yup, just the tip.
Biden – No more drilling!
Progs – So what, rednecks will just have to leave their BIG pick-ups home.
Semi drivers – we cant get your food to the grocery stores.
Farmers – we cant plant our winter crop.
Heating oil suppliers – sorry, we’re out.
Me – this will not end well.
….and the progs will attack the local grocery stores, claiming that they are causing the mess “just so they can make a lot of money”. Nothing worse that truly ignorant people who think you owe them a living and are obligated to protect them from both reality and their own consequences.
Check the uproar over the Kroger Albertson merger.
We ain’t got a problem with the Hispanics on job sites. Most of the crews our subs are using are excellent. We kid around with each other all the time. The google translate ribbing is funny as crap.
Off with DC’s heads
Viva Freedom !!!! Viva Mexico!!!
The time for honoring yourself will soon be at an end. Mexico will not be unscathed. Mexico has sh!t on the USA for generations.
So dig deep Meh-hee-can’ts and feed those useless grifters you allow to traverse your nation only because doing so hurts mine. No fuel means no lure for them to come to Mad Max USA. It also means your rotten e-coli infested produce and cheap junk can’t be shipped here.
The invaders will be happy to hole up on Mexico’s dime, time, and do some violent crime. LMAO.
Joke’s on you. Reap what you sow, Mexico.
It’s not Mexico’s fault that the US threw open its border. But give them some credit, they sure as hell don’t allow those trespassers to stay in Mexico.
While we are at it, if there was not such huge demand in the US for illegal drugs there would be no Mexican cartels to supply them.
Coming soon!
What. Is. That.
diesel fountain
TY.
Throw a match in there someone. Greta would be proud. <sarc
Stealing gas from a deliberately holed pipeline.
TY.
Those are Mexicans stealing gasoline from a pipeline, if memory serves? Not long after this photo the unthinkable happened. A spark. There are horrible videos of scores of people running around completely on fire.
Got it. TY.
Seems to happen every 18 months or so in Africa.
Yep, you’re right. That’s what desperation looks like.
A rare tie for the Darwin Award…
Why not post that video and superimpose Uniparty law of unintended consequences
Just in time for Thanksgiving. Get your turkey now….
All part of the plan.
The actors behind it are oblivious that they are merely pawns in the greater scheme of things, and expendable as such.
When Joe swoops in to solve this crisis he created, he’ll blame it on Trump. The media will proclaim Joe a savior and name Buttigeig as prime Presidential material for ‘24.
Speaking of Buttgig. Typically questions would be asked of a Transportation Secretary what plans there may be to keep transporting of goods by diesel trucks going.
You can’t shove semi trucks 150 miles off the coast and declare a problem solved. Or cargo trains for that matter.
Butt-edge-edge is a complete idiot. His only qualification for Trans Sec (see what I did there) is that he has a driver’s license.
We need to remember, this is all intentional. The enemy is very cunning and determined to take our country down.
What they are doing looks stupid to us because we can’t believe our fellow citizens would destroy the country we love intentionally. Yet it is unfolding before our eyes.
I have a very unpleasant thing to say about Scalise since he’s part of the reason why this is happening in the first place but I’ll refrain from it on here.
I work for Waste Management. The trucks at our site all run on diesel. No diesel, no trash pick up in our communities either.
Lots of small and large businesses use diesel trucks. One son works for a large commercial landscaping company. The other as site manager for a smaller one. All of their trucks use diesel. The working and lower middle class will be hit hardest, of course.
Also, most of our military vehicles use diesel.
School buses run on diesel, too.
Same with the snow plows and the tow trucks to pull people out. The liberal northeast will probably have plenty of fuel though.
Yeap, I’ve been very mindful of the amount of trash we have taken away weekly by a truck — along with all our neighbors — and know life will get stinky and dangerous quickly if garbage is left to pile-up on streets or in front of every home.
Raven that is a another good point. With winter coming on all those frozen bags will be gone over for any scraps of food and possible fuel. With the amount plastics, styro and other combustible as the only available heat Greta will cry from the smoke in her eyes.
Just curious when the rationing will start.
How many ambulances and fire trucks and other emergency responder vehicles run on diesel?
All of them
“What are we doing to increase the supply of diesel given that the Energy Information Administration said as of October 14 the U.S. only had about a 25-day supply,” asked Fox News’s Jacqui Heinrich. “You have the Northeast and New York already rationing home heating oil. What are we doing to prepare for the winter and to ramp up supply of diesel?”
“I’ll take the question on the diesel, because I just don’t have the data on that in front of me. So let me take that, and we’ll get back to you on that,” he responded.”
Did Kirby get back yet? But Kirby did explain how we’re helping the Euroweenies with their energy shortages! This is all intentional, by design all part of build back better and the Democrats Green New Deal no matter how much ChiCom Joe or the White House gaslights about the diesel shortage!!!
This White House Press Conference with John Kirby was on 10/28/22! That was 8 days ago! ?
I just chased this through my company. Utility. Southeast.
It’s hard to tell the signal from the noise. Our suppliers do not see an inability to meet our demand– I just pulsed this Tuesday.
Line trucks need diesel too.
Trauma programming?
Since those are almost all red states, Biden can afford to ignore it and let the people suffer. It’s only when it gets to the Democrat-run cities that there will be rising amounts of chaos and violence. And then Biden will say, “Oh, I didn’t realize, but it really isn’t that important. Just go out to a restaurant.”
Well, that would be another one of his useless suggestions, if someone doesn’t have gas in their car because there was any diesel trucks bringing gas to the gas stations for passenger cars…
Some of the red states might start thinking of starting to drill for their own usage… If they have any wells that is.
They need to tell Joe to go trip up a flight of stairs and start drilling. You up for it, TX?
The democrat run cities are already such a mess they do not know if they are coming or going.
Trash piled sky high, no water in some building and broken pipes in other.
I was shocked to my core when I visited some of these places at the way people lived after living in my small rural community with the beautiful open spaces and my private well pumping out 60 gpms.
My beautiful huge one acre yard and my aspen and evergreen trees and my view of the beautiful Rocky Mountains and my crystal clear ice cold water from my well and I saw how the people in this supposedly middle class blue collar neighborhood lived in what we would consider squalor.
I laid in my hotel room in bed that night and listened to the sirens of the cops and the pop pop pop of the guns going off in the supposedly nice area and could not wait to get back to the boonies and my red rural country side and my alfalfa fields and potato fields and my country hick neighbors.
The people in these blue states live in H*LL and they can have it.
They can have their Biden “perks” and their Biden friendly Governors and Mayors who have then living in a nightmare.
Give me my rural Amish neighbors and my own well and my aspen and evergreen trees and my yard that has a lot of dandylions in it and other undesireable weeds and does not look like a golf course but I will take it over the perfectly groomed yards of the Biden blue state friends.
At least I do not get shot on my way to buy milk at the store.
That sounds beautiful, Chloe! I don’t live in a place like that now, but have in the past and I recognize what you’re describing. Deep satisfaction and contentment there!
Where is that Chloe? It sounds wonderful! : )
You know they’re just giddy about the fact it’s pretty much all red states
The difference between regular gas and diesel is getting larger here – over $2.00 difference.
In rural areas in central NC, while regular gas has been fairly steady for a couple of weeks at around $3.20, diesel prices have been trending up steadily. I saw $5.17 and $5.49 today. No closed pumps yet.
Auto gas dropped down to $4.35 here (central OR) last week. Happy day.
Seven Feathers (casino) was 4.89 for diesel today. Impressive. What’s odd is, prior to Brandon, fuel in the core and at the coast or mountains was pretty much the same; now, nope, coast is much higher. Only thing I can figure is the cost of running those double/double tanker rigs to the coast is part of it.
Gonna be a long, cold, wet winter.
Idk what’s coming but at the very least this will further increase the price per gallon. At some point, and again don’t know, there’s a redline. I suspect this will simply mean more inflation trickling in over the coming months and more pain for consumers (of everything).
However if that redline is reached panic will ensue along with panic buying. This will make procuring certain items (especially food) much more challenging whatever the price. The dipshits throughout the political spectrum are getting ready to understand you can’t print fuel and you can’t print food.
Would be wise for all of us to keep an eye on this. I would probably Google “diesel shortage” once a day and check Gas Buddy app.
It’s cute that you think Google search results will tell you the truth. Stupid but cute…
“Google” is kind of a verb at this point. I “google” stuff using my Brave browser. I imagine most Treepers don’t actually use google.
Just in time for the midterm elections?
The Biden Administration has this reverse Midas Effect going.
Everything it touches in the US economy turns to slime.
“slime” was certainly a generous description. Lol
I think President Trump called it poop or something like that. /s 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Plus we might have a rail strike in a few weeks. That also, will hurt moving goods our stores.
“This diesel shortage is threatening to crush America’s truckers and farmers—the backbone of our economy.” Truckers and farmers aren’t respected an appreciated, as they should be. What would we do if we didn’t have the food that farmers produced, and that truckers brought to our grocery stores?
Thank you Sundance, for reminding us who and what is important, and for warning us of future shortages.
Steve Scalise could care less if this country runs out of diesel fuel.
You would think after almost losing his life to a communist Bernie Bro he would have seen God and turned over a new leaf.
How many times has the government talked about this catastrophic shutdown on diesel fuel or done anything to stop it ?
If they allow this to happen this whole country will grind to a halt which is what they want to happen and all those military leaders who swore that oat to uphold and defend should be instantly prosecuted in international waters
Most military vehicles also run on diesel. If your army can’t mobilize……
That might be a good thing.
Rationed electricity, as in all communist countries. It’s coming barring an unforseen miracle.
Everything OBiden Regime does is on purpose. Are they plotting on shutting down the country while they steal the election – and the post outrage?
Yes, yes, yes, and yes. Not necessarily in that order.
I wonder has Vladimir Putin gotten out his popcorn, yet?
Guess I better fill up the car tomorrow. No diesel means no gas will be delivered.
FJB.
The lines at the Costco pumps are almost always long now throughout the day.
I think people are keeping their tanks topped off just in case.
When I am pumping gas I often casually offer my observation to those near me by ‘saying it’s odd how you do not see anymore Biden-Harris stickers’.
Their reactions can be interesting.
I haven’t let my tank get below 3/4 for over a year now. Leftist democrats are nothing if not predictable, whether the subject is starting wars, blaming others, destroying economies, raising taxes, welcoming (and causing) crises. They thrive on all this crap. I’ve been consciously watching it for sixty years now. That’s why, when jill’njoe moved in, I didn’t need anyone to tell me to start stocking up. That’s where every stimulus check went.
I’m retired and don’t drive much, fortunately. I have something to do Thursday that week be about 40-45 miles round trip and I’m thinking how long that seems now, lol!
Isn’t that the truth? Boy, I don’t drive one mile more than I absolutely have to!
They may be trying to keep the price of gas down before the midterms by prioritizing refining it over diesel. After the midterms they switch to diesel and the price of gas skyrockets. They don’t care who gets hurt. We need more refineries. They will have the next two years to blame everything on the Republicans.
Doesn’t work that way. When a barrel of crude is refined, there is so much gas and so much diesel. Some crude oils have a greater percentage of fuel oils like diesel, but it is still a certain amount of gasoline and a certain amount of fuel oils.
The following is a simple explanation. Note: Near the top is an error. Should be “A standard 45-gallon crude oil barrel contains approximately 42 gallons of salable refined crude oil products per barrel.”
https://www.breakthroughfuel.com/blog/crude-oil-barrel/
Talked to a friend this evening in Masshole. Had 160 gallons of home heating delivered today. Price 980 dollars. He’s in his 70s. Considering returning to the work force. Just the beginning.
The problem is the layoffs will begin shortly. There won’t be jobs available.
NG has more than doubled up there as well.
Good heavens!!!! That is high. And 160 gallons won’t last all that long.
Excellent set of two videos interviewing Jim Rickards on the economy and the financial system, with an extensive focus on the supply chain issue. Interestingly, Rickards believes supply chain turmoil began with Trump’s tariffs. I have listened to many of these videos on inflation and the liquidity crisis in the debt markets, and this one is by far the best.
Would be amazing to get SD’s expert perspective on this.
Rickards is an idiot.
Revolers
Just today was on a vehicle ferry in NC. Shooting the breeze with one of the workers and he mentions that they are down 2 boats as they did not get their diesel delivery. Said the next shipment is due Tuesday… if it does not show they will not be able to operate.
President Trump on Truth Social this last week shared an article from a prepper website about the fuel shortage and train things.
Something wicked this way comes.
Americans should give up diesel for Ukraine.
Said very few Americans ever.
Biden needs to tap into the nation’s strategic IQ supply.
Biden had brain suckers that died of starvation.
The poor brain slug starved to death.
If you have a diesel vehicle fill your tank tomorrow to impact the election.
Staples are the prices through the roof. Eggs, Milk, Butter, Bread, and now Diesel. My point here: If someone was planning a war, these are the kinds of staples they would stock.
Why is it always the SE?
The growing season doesn’t end — but transporting is a another story.
Reconstruction continues….is it a coincidence the shortage is starting in the South?
Oh, dear. It’s going to break my brain if I have to add post-Civil War trauma to the current mess. Please say it isn’t so.
Oh, well. Let me get it started:
I don’t think it’s a coincidence at all. It’s been in the making for at least 72 years and 14 months.
As they projected the increasing usefulness of diesel, they came up with an amortized decrease, reversing what had been the original buildup, and they knew right away that they had to start with the South, to settle the as-yet-unsettled-scores.
Watch for some churches to be burned as well. And somebody had better be ready to confirm the whereabouts of Jimmeh and Rosalind Carter (the little people) when it all hits the fan.
Is that how it’s done?
Yeah, you know, I’ve been wondering about that too — since the South is where the warriors are and the Trump supporters are (not only here, but they are here in abundance), and also where it might stay warm enough to survive a cold winter, my guess is it’s “screw the South.” They’ll come down here to warm up, but I’m not sure what they’ll eat if we don’t have diesel to deliver it to their posh seaside homes.
I don’t mean this as hyperbole: I am sincerely worried that our nation will not be able to withstand another two years of this administration. The Biden administration may indeed be the most reckless, incompetent and dangerous administration this nation has ever had. It puts all of humanity in peril.
You have to look at who benefits by our demise….then it all makes sense. China is getting a huge return on their investment in the Biden traitor family.
Can anyone think of anything the Biden Administration hasn’t screwed up?
It not a screw-up. It’s done on purpose with malice.
OBiden Regime and whoever they represent hate this country and her people.
Cloward-Piven—–INTENTIONAL bankrupting of capitalism to usher in a Marxist/socialist utopia
Maybe..probably a dumb question. Why don’t energy companies just ignore fjb? Open up pipelines and just ignore him? So what’s he going to do? Send in some armed ignorant or under duress workers that will be met with armed company workers? Tax or fine them that they will ignore? This regime ignores all sorts of laws they want. Why aren’t the fuel companies blowing raspberries at them? Tell fjb…we are a business…ppl need to eat and live and work and fuel is the key nd we are in business to make money and provide jobs. When cars first were developed, our President didn’t tell everyone to shoot their horses and buy a car right now. Renewables aren’t ready fjb. You know it. We know it. So you and your ilk want to take America and all countries down to their knees so we beg YOU for fuel, food ? Go eff yourself. WE run this country now you crazy MF. Now I suppose I’m going to get a visit from my son. That won’t go well for either of us.
I work in an oil refinery…you answered your own questions…why don’t we cut our own throats?
Well…because we need them to breath with?
Explain. I’m not being confrontational…I am ignorant. Why does your company or any company go along with this government? I can see if a company has been subsidized by the feds….but I also hope I know that Americans want to live and prosper. When do companies get to the point…schools and universities too for that matter..when they decide to just strike out on their own and remain free? Maybe it’s too far gone for that…but as I pray for a Hail Mary for my nephew (prayer limb-candle) I pray for the American spirit rise up and tell the globalists to bug the hell OFF. if they come get me…haha…they’ll find an old sack of aging bones. To my credit…I still can cook and make a mean margarita ☺️😉
I’ll tell you why NanaB….because most of those that sit on the boards of those refining companies aren’t smart enough to know that carbon dioxide is a fertilizer, not a pollutant.
Scalise and his RINO friends, those still there and those who “retired”, did all they could to make certain Mr Trump didn’t have a second term.
This impending disaster is as much their fault as “Biden’s” and his cabal of Green Global Marxists.
And this is what he does? Tweets? Are they all sitting on their hands and posing for their pretty smiling picture for their Twitter feed?
Rhetorical…I know the answer.
….just plug the damn thing in and quit your damn bellyaching…sheesh….you would think truckers were doing important things like delivering every single thing we buy….
Bungles Biden and his gang are the Masters of this Economic Manmade Disaster.
I find it hard to believe anyone in their right mind would vote for the the Party that brought this curse on our Nation and the World. What should be a wake up call is turning out to be a SOS/Stuck On Stupid moment for Democrat Voters.
Diesel fuel and #1 home heating oil are about the same. My guess is this is the long hard cold winter that Old Joe was talking about.
Food isn’t flown to your grocery stores on the backs of magic fairies. No deisel, no food deliveries.

Trump 2024
$10 for six pack of Coke at Giant today. Land-O-Lakes butter $7.99 4 sticks. Many name brand products not available…store/off brand only. Only Giant brand Worcestershire sauce. When the diesel runs out the decline/disaster will come quickly…a week or two and shelves will be bare. Be prepared America…You voted for this…
No, American did NOT vote for this. I did not, thank you very much. A lot, way TOO many, “liberals” voted for this and the communist, leftist, globalists stole the election. So no, America did NOT vote for this. However. America WILL FIX THIS!!
No, America did not “vote for this!” Democrats stole it. You know it too.
If you haven’t made the connection, if diesel doesn’t get to the pump, neither does gasoline.
One brings the other.
No gasoline, no food delivery, no farm equipment operating, no flights as the tankers that fill the aircraft all run on diesel. In short the country will come to a complete standstill exactly as has been planned.
The WEF fellas are absolutely thrilled by how well the Great Reset is progressing
Good,
Then maybe people will finally get it
They’ll just buy electric cars. Everything will be fine.
That is one of the most silly thing I have seen. Where does all the electricity come from if we sell 15 million new electric cars today. How much would the consumer have to spend to buy them. Where do the battery components come from? Where do you get them charged.Who benefits. I love the thoughts of electric cars. However, we have to prepare for them
I think that was sarcasm.
Sarcasm is a form of humor, AND education👺
You omitted the fact that electric cars are delivered to the dealerships from the factories on transport trucks powered by ….. diesel fuel.
Currently I don’t think car dealers have a low inventory problem.
I don’t know if there is still a chip shortage for new cars, but they now cost $10,000 more.
The Honda dealer I went to a couple months had few cars on the lot. They said the lead time was 3 weeks.
My friend said he went to a dealer recently and they had few cars on the lot and delivery was a few months.
Be interesting to hear what others are seeing at dealers.
My friend just bought a Mercedes. He paid sticker price, probably $70K+.
$10,000 more than….?
Giant eye roll
Let the free market decide what they ride. Forcing electric transportation without fossil fuels to power the electric plants is wilful ignorance.
Correct answer! EVs are practical for SOME people. Not everyone. I have some fleets my shop service who would do far better with EVs than the gas powered vehicles they currently drive maybe 2-3 miles a week. Others could benefit from hybrids. Still others need to stick with gas or diesel to move heavy loads.
How do you manufacture electric cars without gasoline and diesel? Does anyone else realize that the dividing line between rudimentary living and the modern world is quite literally a three letter word: OIL.
That was the strategy of this administration!!
LOLOL!!!
Need diesel to deliver the parts for the electric toy cars..
Gas up your vehicles NOW !
When the Red Volcano erupts gasoline prices will skyrocket as punishment.
Please sooner rather than later. We can’t take much more of this. How long will it take us to repair everything. Mt. St. Helens… what 25’ish years?
Exactly right!! Nov 9 standby! Democrats willake us pay for the red wave!
There is a pipeline supplying Hartsfield. The fuel trucks can also run on JP8 and Jet A-1 fuel.
But we have Evs now.
Ever look at how much PLASTIC is in your typical vehicle, EV or otherwise?
GUESS what virtually ALL plastic is made from.
Refined petroleum. Heres a fun excercise, look around you. Note EVERYTHING in your life, where all or part, is made from plastic, and imagine your life without it.
6000+ products that are used every day are made from petrolium
No one ever brings this up or asks a liberal which ones they can live with out.
A very rude awakening is coming
and one of the things made from petroleum is PLASTICS — those needed for medical devices such as the ones used in plastic surgery, liposuction, botox, etc. Has Hollywood and Pelosi thought about that. I think she is actually 150 yrs old. she just looks young.
There is nothing young looking about that hag. I heard Paul asked her the other day(just before he got his date with dave) when did she get those moles on her knees and she told him those were her nipples.
Paul is proof that big boobs attract the wrong type of men.
YUCK !!!!!
Reminds me of the line from the movie “Mrs. Robinson”….something about getting into ‘plastics’….circa 1960’s.
I’d dearly love to eliminate plastic packaging from everything possible. It doesn’t degrade in landfills, and plastic recycling is actually a huge failure.
Wax cartons for milk and OJ, glass bottles also for beverages. Go back to bottle deposits and refunds. Glass is easily recycled. Tin cans rust away in the landfills. Cardboard and wax paper degrade into dirt.
Somehow we got along just great in the ‘50s and ‘60s without plastic packaging for most of the consumer industries.
This!
Exactly so.
& of course the asphalt roadways are made with petroleum.
It’s amazing that soooo many people can’t think this “green” stuff through to it’s logical conclusion.
That has been my question to everyone who talks to me about the green new deal.
I have yet to receive an answer from any of them
that makes any sense.
Basically nothing will get anywhere. Virtually everything we buy and consume has been transported on a truck some where along the supply chain, plus whatever raw materials to produce the parts, and the parts themselves in transport to where they will be assembled.
Without diesel the whole system collapses. No if, ands, or buts about it.
The enemies of freedom around the world have wanted to strangle America to death forever.
This is how they do it.
Trucks and trains, all of which are diesel powered.
The tugs that push barges and service ports are also diesels as are the ships.
Diesel delivers diesel.
Exactly………….neither does jet fuel. If a refinery is making gasoline, they can make diesel.
