You have that backwards fren, oil is chains of complexed compounds of hydrogen and carbon, the more refined it is the simpler that chain becomes, but it's still just hydrogen and carbon. Diesel is closer to the oil, (being less refined) than gasoline. That's why gasoline cost more to produce.
So an oversimplified view is you start with oil to get to diesel to get to gas.
Hubby mentioned there are supposed to be shortages on the east coast for diesel soon. Not sure what the source on that info would be. He mainly reads Fox, BBC, etc.
Not really. He thinks I'm a crazy conspiracy theorist, even though everything I have brought up turns out to be true. We can't talk politics or even world events, lol. He still thinks people generally have good intentions, so no one would engineer food crisis, gas shortages, bird flu, Covid, remdesivir response, election theft, FF events, etc. Worldview definitely matters. I think
Closest thing I had to a (ex) would literally stick her fingers in her ears an start humming.
Her readymade response was "we're all gonna die, we're all gonna die". She got boring, and I got single.
It was to scary for her.
You can choose to ignore reality, but you can't escape the consequences of ignoring reality.
Sounds like he has a good heart, as all this unfolds, maybe it won't jade him to bad.
He does have a good heart. He loves Jesus and us. He's just pretty deceived by MSM. He ended up realizing the whole Covid nonsense was just that, but thinks the powers that be all mean well as they commit murder worldwide, that they really don't mean to kill people off. He now is totally blind about the whole Ukraine situation, but has finally stopped watching the msm coverage every spare minute. He thinks Putin is the bad guy, which he may not be a saint, but I do think the evidence seems to support him doing exactly what he promised to destroy the Nazis in Ukraine and expose the DS. His whole family is deceived though. They all took all the jabs, so I'm prepping mentally for their demise. I just hope they don't transmit something deadly to us in the process.
They shipped two tankers from the east cost to Europe to make up shortages for them, we have a fair amount. In the rest of the country but can't move it easily to the east coast. Has to be moved on us tankers,and their are only a couple in the trade......
Normies don’t realize just how crazy this fuel shortage is. I haul trash from the transfer stations to the landfills in semi’s. You think what happened in Chicago was bad years ago? Woo boy!! If this actually happens, ya’ll gonna have some fun
Here's the thing that astounds me about diesel. Producing diesel is less involved than making gasoline. So, why is it more expensive? You might say it has to do with demand, but diesel in the past has always been cheaper than gasoline. This was the reason why some automobile manufacturers were attracted to marketing diesel automobiles. People can make their own diesel from vegetable oil and even algae.
Lol. Until a Fedboi comes pounding on your door demanding money for their alternative fuels tax... it amazes me how all these greenie faggots never mention abolishing it when shilling the climate agenda.
When you make home diesel, its your personal business for survival and no one else's. Albeit, the human mouth is too often a loose cannon. The noise can alert the wrong people. Making anything for profit is also noise and another matter.
Highway use + commercial taxes, diesel for the most part has always been the commercial fuel, while gasoline is the consumer fuel, for the last few decades the excess of difference in production of cost vs. point of sale is taxation.
Of course that cost is passed on to the consumers covertly, as the market once again balances what the government has stolen off the top.
I've been working on and with diesel engines most of my life, for low RPM high torque application, coupled with durability and efficiency, they are far superior to gasoline motors.
But in high RPM high torque, gas being more volatile is preferred.
However when you start calculating weight to energy ratios, the 2 stroke oil/gas motors for practical application can't be beat.
Well partner they're both internal combustion motors.
I think your auto correct like mine rewrite posts sometimes (changes enough words to change meaning).
But diesel's are amazing, I've worked as a engineer / motorman offshore on drilling rigs and the stories I could tell you. I think some of the old detroit 71 series are possessed. 471s are screaming little demons you just can't kill, their big brother the 1271s were the backbone of many a old draw work compounds, enough power to pull the Derick down if you're not careful.
And those big old cats seemed to like it slow and easy an ran forever, ideal for SCR generation applications.
But even after my offshore career ended, I jumped in a big truck and ran them roads until the wheels fell off.
And I'm here to say those baby truck diesel motors are little monster's too, just start to get broke in at 100k miles. Not uncommon to see a well cared for one with a few million miles, rather common to see them with at least a couple of million miles.
Marine application with set RPMs can really be dialed in with forced induction for max efficiency, weather your talking turbos or blowers the air/fuel ratio can get ridiculous.
Yea, I'm a fan but I've had some special hotrods in the gasoline version too.
Mike Adams mentioned this a few weeks ago, he was on a major doom and gloom downward spiral so I haven’t been listening to him, however yesterday did say that we should be aware of a diesel issue. Again, I’m thinking this is all being done on purpose so ...
It wouldn't hurt my feeling at all if the white hats cleaned up this mess, I'm cautiously optimistic, there's lessons to be learned by doing your own dirty work, however unpleasant it may be.
I’m from Louisiana. Heard on the local news a few days ago (don’t remember the specific number or which reserve bc I was cooking) but supposedly we have around 80 million typically on hand, it was down to 50 last month, I think he said 18 last week and soon to be 15. With nothing being put back in. The problem is that the Biden admin placed all kinds of green energy laws into drilling and production. When you couple that with the increase from royalties, no company is willing to risk the expense. Shell (and others) have shut down a ton of refineries. This has been heading into a really bad place for awhile. People just haven’t realized how bad it’s going to get. It’s been happening.
At the price of Diesel I've given up driving my Duramax, only when I have to use for its intended purchase use. The price of diesel certainly is contributing to price increases, felt at the stores and in my tank.
The water shortage is in CA where commie judges require10B gallons of water per day to flush out into the ocean to protect the Delta Smelt, a minnow that is supposedly endangered. The second reason for the shortage is that the Communist Earth Worshippers have been able to prevent any new dams from being built for many years.
That's not what I said. People in the cities are screwed anyway. Just look at what happened to them in the Great Depression. Thousands starved, but people in the country always had food.
The destruction of America. No diesel, no food or other goods in your stores.
You have to go through all of this because of the American moron voters. Have to wake up the shit for brains.
We also brought this on ourselves by getting comfortable and complacent in their evil system.
Diesel is a by-product of gas production so if diesel is in short supply gas is…. Or else someone is making it short in supply.
You have that backwards fren, oil is chains of complexed compounds of hydrogen and carbon, the more refined it is the simpler that chain becomes, but it's still just hydrogen and carbon. Diesel is closer to the oil, (being less refined) than gasoline. That's why gasoline cost more to produce.
So an oversimplified view is you start with oil to get to diesel to get to gas.
I've never understood why diesel is more expensive than gas at the pump. If there is less processing, it should cost less. Is it taxed higher?
Yes, it's historical been a commercial fuel, so that taxation cost is absorbed / passed on to the consumers.
It's the government stealing off the top of transportation revenues, and the market balancing that liability, when you're talking logistics.

More pure stupidity on the residents part.
There shouldn't be any shortages but I can tell you the prices are going to get a lot higher.

It's easy to make your own bio-diesel.

Regardless no such tyrannical tax should have ever fucking existed.
Just a greenie Trojan Horse with a commie red agenda.
God forbid they catch you running ag / green (hwy tax free) diesel in your Big Rig, that's a go to jail loose your truck kinda deal.
But repeat after me, "I am free"
Free enough to revolt and rebel, then send the master to hell.

Hmm I think I see the solution. Abolish taxes.

If there's going to be a sudden "transition" of power, it makes sense that they would want to lock us all down again somehow.
We'll see how this week plays out...
Limit the option to mobilize against them?
Gas shortage should be next then.
It would be the wise thing for them to do, in managing the masses.
No doubt about it, it's orchestrated, these fuckers are coming at us from multiple angles of attacks.
I've been listening, reading, Adams for years, anti GMO, anti roundup days.
He doesn't always get it right, but more times than not he's in the ballpark.
Dark forecasts for
Dark days
Hopefully no more than ten.
Prepare for the worst, pray for the best..
from beginning to end.
It wouldn't hurt my feeling at all if the white hats cleaned up this mess, I'm cautiously optimistic, there's lessons to be learned by doing your own dirty work, however unpleasant it may be.

Out of diesel at a large station near me on Friday.

I keep reading/hearing about it. Then again, I keep hearing about water shortages and can't figure out why drinking water would be a national problem?
The water shortage is in CA where commie judges require10B gallons of water per day to flush out into the ocean to protect the Delta Smelt, a minnow that is supposedly endangered. The second reason for the shortage is that the Communist Earth Worshippers have been able to prevent any new dams from being built for many years.
Because most people rely on bottled bullshit and water pumps require power.
There are hand operated water pumps. Also solar.
Okay. Demonstrate how a hand operated pump will provide water to cities.
That's not what I said. People in the cities are screwed anyway. Just look at what happened to them in the Great Depression. Thousands starved, but people in the country always had food.
Just bought 2 new rain barrels to compliment the one I already have. Last resort is sending some kids to walk 2 miles to a creek.
