Diesel shortage starting dec 7 2022

[fynnigan]

Hearing a bit of noise about the pumps running dry next week in ne bc and nw Alta? Just wondering if anyone has any info

I dont understand how we can run out of diesel when we make it. NWR, Shell is running so were is their diesel going?

Is someone trying to drive up the cost of diesel, which would result in driving up the cost of everything else by creating a panic for diesel???

Haven't heard about those two areas specifically. Just whatever's in the news about looming supply shortages. I know the prices have been changing like crazy lately here in Fort Mac. In the span of 36 hours it went from $1.90, to 1.70, back up to 1.82 then 1.89. Seems like a new price every time I drive by the station near the house.

It's a global commodity now, if someone else is willing to pay more for it that's where the diesel gets shipped. If the eastern US and Canada have a cold winter heating oil demand goes up, and so will diesel prices. I don't think Smith would let Albertan diesel get shipped elsewhere leaving us high and dry however, if it ever did come to severe shortages.

It doesn't really help that the US has lost a couple million bpd of refining capacity in the last few years.

Would that someone be this abomination?

Diesel is slightly cheaper in Europe than here, I was just there and shocked.

They were saying Europe is buying up all the diesel so they don’t have to buy from Russia. A lot of their small cars are diesel powdered.

It’s ridiculous the price. It’s a byproduct of gasoline production.

Our guys are out doing snow removal and the diesel bills are getting crazy!

Diesel is not a byproduct of gasoline, atleast not at every facility.

I can’t see how that’s true. Diesel is £1.85 in UK right now. That’s $3/litre.

Never seen a difference between gas and diesel like we have now tho. Must be some kind of shortage

 

[sirkdev]

That’s what they would lead you to believe.. or tax

Jet fuel production must still be way down from prepandemic times. It's not so different from diesel. There shouldn't be a diesel shortage.

The US has been saying for the last month there strategic reserves are gone, and that they only had enough to go another month or so. Biden went to Saudi to beg for more and got told to pound sand.

 

[pano-dude]

Filled both my slip tanks this week just in case, 800l @$2.14

 

[mclean]

It's 3ish a liter on the east coast. That's Liberalism for ya.

 

[lilduke]

Dont worry, we are putting up lots of windmills

 

[gedakbx]

Don’t worry JT will still be able to fly all over the place

What's the scoop with the NWR refinery out by Redwater? I heard rumblings that its been a disaster since day 1 and isn't producing diesel like it should be.

My son stopped in Hinton UFA yesterday on his way to Blue River. Said there was only one diesel pump open. Diesel in Valemount was 2.46.

 

[scotts]

Trying to fill for spring seeding every time price of dyed takes a bit of a dip! Costs are shocking!

 

[lilduke]

oil price going down, diesel going up..... What a time to be alive....
