‘Somebody’ is trying to keep this info on the down low…
As Bloomberg noted this week, “The US has just 25 days of diesel supply, the lowest since 2008, according to the Energy Information Administration. At the same time, the four-week rolling average of distillates supplied, a proxy for demand, rose to its highest seasonal level since 2007.”

And they are continuing to pull down the strategic reserve…
Speaking at the White House, Biden said the Energy Department would sell the remaining 15 million barrels of the 180 million barrels that were authorized for sale in March

And the election is in 17 days… what a surprise… Sigh
maybe Biden shouldn’t have killed the Keystone pipeline. Trudeau and Biden probably had a party after that one. It will be interesting if the Michigan governor is successful in killing Line 5. Got to wonder just wtf is going on with our two countries.
They’re turning us into Oligarchies. Then after that dictatorships. Everything they’re doing makes perfect sense once you realize that.
They have to take away our right to travel. They already control all of the news media and information dissemination.
This makes it harder for anyone to know what’s going on or to organize. We already have the ‘secret police’ via all of the monitoring of our smartphones that goes on.
Next step is the controlling of our food supply and a famine. They’ve been signalling that one since they started their efforts to do away with ‘fast food’ (the $15 an hour min wage bs).
Everything they’re doing has been done before, just in different ways. And with the Government Schools we have (thank Jimmy Carter for his illegal Dept of Education for that one) ‘the people’ just aren’t smart or educated enough to see it.
JVS agreed. I was planning on taking some time to scout out a different state this past summer. With diesel at $6 a gallon I decided not to. Makes it harder to move somewhere more friendly when you can’t afford to even go look.
Selling the last of the strategic reserve to who?
The PRC?
We are frogs in a pot that keeps getting hotter.
David/John/Hereso- Good points all.
Gerry- Supposedly…
WSF- I’m about ready to ‘hop out’, but that’s just me…
Somehow I can’t help but believe that if Trump was the one who was selling down our strategic oil reserves and we were down to less than a month worth of diesel, that stuff would be on every, including Fox, broadcast in America, like on a loop..
Change my mind
Nolan- Oh yeah, you could bet on it!
And all that oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve that Pedo Joe is selling. He’s NOT selling it to American refiners. It’s going OVERSEAS. Mostly to China.
“Speaking at the White House, Biden said the Energy Department would sell the remaining 15 million barrels of the 180 million barrels that were authorized for sale in March.”
To whom is he selling these barrels to?
I know it is not me, can’t afford the price they are charging.
Well, China needs to build up it’s stockpile of oil and raw resources before the attack on Taiwan early next year. Ol Joe just helping out his buddies so nothing to worry about.
Hey Old NFO;
“Nothing to see here…..Move along….Move along…”
In 25 days, when there’s still diesel at the pumps will anyone print a retraction?
I’ve read this headline before and watched the panic buying with many products.
Remember when there was just a week’s supply of toilet paper in the country and it was all gone the next day because people freaked out?
“Our” side of the media is just as duplicitous as the liberal side with regards to getting us to dance to their tune.
The PJ media article’s graphs make it look like an article supporting the liberal line that it’s pure avarice on the refiner’s part because it’s raising the price of fuel and that’s good for their profit margins.
No mention of EPA rules changes that make it harder to refine anything.
No mention of lingering Wu Ping Cough restrictions causing shippers to seek different forms of transportation that use more fuel.
Perhaps the threat of a railway strike affects the transportation of crude oil because we can’t build pipelines? That same strike threat means more trucks hauling goods otherwise moved using less fuel by rail. BUT THEY DON’T MENTION THAT!
Not a mention at all of how many days supply is normally in the system at any given time.
Think about it.
The day you do your payday shopping and buy food. On Saturday there’s a 14 day supply of food in the cupboards.
Thursday after next there’s ONLY A TWO DAY SUPPLY OF FOOD!
Is it time to riot? Should you panic?
Or should you go get more food?
That headline and lack of a real cause with the profit condemnation makes me say, oh look it’s propaganda intended to get us to get upset.
You make some interesting points. Something I’m not sure everyone gets is
We have a twenty five day supply
And no mention of
Which is being Resupplied daily.
I don’t think they were trying to say we will be out in twenty five days. But that without more diesel being refined, we only have a twenty five day supply and will run out.
Yeah, kinda making noise, wagging a finger at the evil, incompetent or actively sabotaging America biden,,
I’m in the Actively Sabotaging America camp.
I wish Our side wouldn’t engage in cheap shots and half baked propaganda. There is so much Real stuff to look at that stuff like this just muddies the water.
Aaand THE best question that no great Journalism Expert asked
Not a mention at all of how many days supply is normally in the system at any given time.
No kidding, Angus
