US national average diesel price tops $6 a gallon for first time ever

[VonBonfire]

Of course removing the tax would make it cheaper. That doesn't reverse the fact that Trump's retarded Iran war is the reason that prices skyrocketed.

Retarded war aside, it's always political more than actual supply chain, hence the higher prices under Biden, Bush, and Obama. We haven't bought oil from Iran since the 70's.

I think Canadian shale has played some role as well as Saudi Arabia.

The permian basin in TX is producing more oil right now than anyplace on earth.

It's a basic supply and demand equation, and the market is global. The war caused supply to shrink, so the price skyrocketed.

The big issue is that diesel supplies are tight and refining margins are high.

Trump's retarded Iran war is the reason that prices skyrocketed.

Which is it?

 

[Shevek]

Which is it?

They are not contradictory. The supply is tight because of the war.

Not sure what is so funny. I just checked it and Canada supplies most of the imported stuff, 60%, with Mexico coming in way behind followed by Saudi and Brazil.

Ok, fair enough. Explain why prices were higher under Obama and Biden when there was no real conflict affecting it? Or was it just poor policy their part?

They weren't higher. Diesel is at an all time record high.

Lol what?

Yes, diesel is at a record high now but gasoline record highs were under different presidents. Iran is just a crappy excuse for high prices.

Somebody fucked up at the refinery?

What does that mean, "Somebody fucked up at the refinery?"

Different fuels are the result of refining other fuels, no?
It was tongue in cheek

[Robostyle]

I'm not an expert in fuel refinery.
Surely some other more knowledgeable person can shed some light?
