Russia attacks a Ukrainian powerplant, violating the energy ceasefire. Trump responds by threatening to cut Ukraine’s arms, not Russia. Ukraine says it’s ready to stop hitting refineries. Russia signals it isn’t. draw your own conclusions.

tomorrow will tie 2022's record for number of days with the national average above $4/gal. 2022 saw 157 days above $4. today is our 156th day above $4 this year. tomorrow, we tie that 157 days and Wednesday we set a new record for most days above $4/gal in any year ever.

That, and I also thought a primary reason to move it to the gulf coast via keystone xl was this very reason- to export. Nor do most people and those running the country understand that the refineries processing this oil wouldn’t easily just be able to shift to other US oil without refinery changes

The entire interior U.S. should be alarmed as Canada fast tracks a new crude oil pipeline from Alberta to Canada's West Coast that will push more of Canada's oil away from U.S. refineries that rely on it, and could negatively impact U.S. refineries.

wholesale gasoline prices appear to be reacting to the potential diesel export controls- California wholesale gas prices hit 30-day highs, along with NY region and Gulf region. I'll keep watching, but as I mentioned earlier, touching diesel exports could do this *exactly*

banning diesel exports is unlikely to be successful in pushing diesel prices down aside from Gulf states, it will likely push refiners to cut production rates which could mean even higher gasoline prices as well. conventional wisdom that it’ll lower prices? it’s a trap.

this talk of “running out” of diesel is THE madness. the U.S. is sitting on 4.08 BILLION gallons of (<15ppm) distillates today, which is up from 4.05 billion a wk ago. just bc a few stations have issues does not mean a nationwide crisis is brewing. now sit down & relax plz.

some good news for your Friday- Great Lakes wholesale gasoline prices (MI, IN, OH, IL, WI) are pointing to a 20c/gal dip, which may relieve some retail price pressure as XOM is rumored to be in restart process, but wholesale diesel on the other hand is up 11c/gal.

There are stations running out of gas… but usually I then hear people are filling up again as the delivery shows up. In my small town in Michigan they were rushing the pump where it was $4.59 knowing $4.99 is coming. Always a lot of behavior changes when surges and then it’ll settle out.

The rest of the world has decided to move on without us and they’re currently setting up the supply chain to bypass us. Probably the only reason with the fuel crisis in the US we haven’t banned exports of oil/fuel is that it would expose just how bad our overall trade deficit is right now.
