Diesel prices take a jump yet again

[CloverKnollFarms]

Airlines are pulling down hundreds of flights per day now to combat the pilot shortage, and to consolidate operations a bit to conserve fuel. Jet A has doubled in the past year. Rising ticket prices, with double digit inflation, are not a good mix.

And let us not forget the fact that the EPA in all it's infinite wisdom and bureaucratic snafu's has over regulated the refinery industry.

That's just one opinion, making it sound like a fact doesn't make it real. I grew up - many years ago - in an oilfield and refining district so I've first hand experience in what that makes an area into.

I like what the EPA has done, but in my opinion the EPA has not been nearly successful enough in regulating the refinery industry.
My hat is off to them for what they have done, but I'd like to see them step up their game and do more.

Lou, that has no impact on the price of fuel at all.
Its just supply and demand.

Everyone wants clean air and water, but too many ”environmentalists” want to regulate everything into oblivion.

But the private & luxury charter flights, sometimes with just one guy on board, are headed to places like Davos and other “environmental” conferences all the time.
Wonder what the carbon footprint per person looks like for one of those flights?

I did a lot of work myself in refineries and gas plants, as far as I'm concerned they have gone over board.

Yes but curtailed production via formulation requirements is definitly a supply crimp.

gas $4.01 to $4.09
diesel $4.96 to $5.29

Everyone is discussing the supplies/demand of crude oil, but crude supplies are not much different than a few years ago. Something that the fuel price articles point out that isn’t being discussed is the refinery capacity issues. Refineries aren’t able to keep up with the heavy flow of crude oils being supplied, and not all refineries are designed to produce all fuel types. Some articles point out that refinery capacity is currently not at the level of a few years ago. And the reasons are mixed

Looks like they’re just policy issues in this article.

Oil embargo

Fresh supply concerns in world energy markets sent WTI crude futures (CL1:COM) up 3.5% overnight to $119 per barrel for the first time since March, when sanctions began to target Russia for its invasion of Ukraine. Brent crude (CO1:COM) already touched the new symbolic $120 level on Monday, while U.S. gasoline prices surged to another record, dealing a fresh blow to consumers ahead of the summer driving season and peak energy demand. The national average for a gallon of gas is now hovering around $4.62, according to AAA, as millions of Americans come back from their Memorial Day outings and holiday getaways.

Next shakeup: EU leaders have reached an agreement to ban 90% of Russian crude by the end of the year as part of a sixth sanctions package the bloc is putting together against Moscow. Seaborne deliveries of Russian oil would be forbidden under the new arrangement, though it would include a temporary exemption for pipeline transfers until a solution is found that would meet the energy needs of Hungary and other landlocked countries like Slovakia and the Czech Republic. "This immediately covers more than 2/3 of oil imports from Russia, cutting a huge source of financing for its war machine," tweeted European Council President Charles Michel. "Maximum pressure on Russia to end the war."

Lax regulations on chemical plants are why we ended up with superfund hazardous sites.
