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.
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.
You haven't educated him into the ways of enlightenment yet?
Faux, british bullshit corp ?
I bet yall have some lively conversation.
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
Boy is he in for a surprise.
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.
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......
More pure stupidity on the residents part.
