Just 25 Days of Diesel Supply

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. While weekly demand dipped slightly, it’s still at highest point in two years amid higher trucking, farming and heating use.

The diesel crunch comes just weeks ahead of the midterm elections and has the potential to drive up prices for consumers who already view inflation and the economy as a top voting issue. Retail prices have been steadily climbing for more than two weeks. At $5.324 a gallon, they’re 50% higher than this time last year, according to AAA data.

One question that I haven't seen answered yet is how this will affect independents driving in and out of the state. I understand how it affects people driving within the state. But an awful lot of freight, especially produce, moves out of California to go all over the country, carried by independent owner operators. How will this bill affect the independent owner operator based in Florida, for example, who is hauling produce from San Diego to Minneapolis in the winter?
Fascist socialist democrat policies are unjust, impractical, and confusing.

This trailer has like 90 wheels on it, making this rig not an 18- but like almost a 100-wheeler.

And that dump truck is crazy big!
