He says distillate demand spikes at this time of year, then in the very next sentence says they do maintenance shutdowns this time of year because demand is lower. When I see something like that in an article, it makes me question the validity of all his reasoning.
"As mentioned above, distillate demand spikes at this time of year. But, it does that every year.
This is also the time of year that refineries are doing maintenance. They tend to do that in the spring and fall, which is when demand is lower"Last edited by Scott'n'Wendy; 11-06-2022 at 07:05 PM.

I'm taking possible shortages very seriously.
We're full time snowbirds between central PA and North FL. Going South for the winter has pretty much become a requirement. The worst scenario would be to get stuck on 95 with no fuel available hence no options.
About a week ago, I put a transfer tank in my truck. I now have about 1500 miles of range in my truck and almost 1000 miles for DW pulling the cargo trailer with her gas truck.
Better to have and not need, than need and not have.

The price of agriculture commodities can and do change based on several factors including (but not limited to) weather and demand. Our farmers have already been complaining about the the price and shortages of the fertilizer they need and now the cost of diesel. If a farm can not be profitable then they stop being a farm. Diesel price increases and shortages also impact the supply chain. Contract truckers that delivers products that we need to market also need to be profitable to stay in business.

Farmers and ranchers do not set the price of their commodities. This is set by the market conditions and the auction buying the product.
When I sell calves that have a “break even cost” of $675 I am totally at the mercy of the buyer. Many times they bring less than what I have in them.
Farmers are the same. All of our input costs have gone up drastically yet at the time it is harvested, the grain buyer tells them what they will pay. Many times it is not a good outcome.
