Diesel shortages

[SKYCHENEY]

It would be something if it was only the marine industry and sport. Consider the impact on trucking and the costs associated with normal groceries etc..

And farmers and construction and all of industry. The ripple effect is huge.

Can’t grow it, gotta mine it. Common denominator is diesel fuel.

It’s diesel a byproduct of gasoline? I believe it is and if it is, there should be plenty of diesel because there seems to be plenty of gas just expensive.

I’m sure the internet expurts will jump in but I believe the problem is due to getting it down in sulfur content and the lack of refineries that can do that.

One of the factors anyway

Diesel is less refined than gasoline. So yeah, it should be easier to make. I am thinking exports have taken a toll on our reserves. It's not all putin's fault but he hasn't made it easier on us all.

The average voter sees the price of gas at the pump but doesn’t understand the impact of the price of diesel. So…best bang for the vote is to push the price of gas down not diesel.

And the majority of diesel users don’t have a choice about using it. Pre 1980 diesel was always a lot cheaper than gas. When my dad repowered the 34 gas was .35 diesel was .17. Now they know they have a captive audience.

dont forget a number of states that have forgone the state and local sales tax on fuel until jan 23.
perception versus reality at least for the short term

We have customers flying in today to pick up the 70 Hatteras CPMY we just sold them. Plan was to cruise into Annapolis today to fuel her up for departure South tomorrow AM. None of the fuel docks in Annapolis Harbor had any diesel as of yesterday afternoon. The Yacht Basin said they **may** be receiving a tanker overnight but they weren't certain. I just now spoke to the dockmaster here at Piney Narrows - we have 6,000 gallons available.
