Pride comes before the fall.....Pride month ended.
This too shall pass. If it doesn't, likely other factors will be to blame. Monkey wrenches are a dime a dozen in DC.
I have no problem spending an extra twenty to fill my tank. No boots on the ground is worth the sacrifice. On a personal level, I don't drive a diesel, or haul anything....
Slamming Trump, compared to the Democratic Socialist Party's bonafides, is not on the table. The time discussing Diesel, not to minimize too much, would be better spent on exposing the commies and their monkey wrenches, like shutting down so called fossil fuels, and the plants that make them or use them....or refine them....etc.

Peak average US diesel price under Biden = $5.819
Peak average US diesel price under Trump = $5.901 (and rising)
Thanks - that is another important way to look at it which is not easily captured by simple charts/stats.

Not here in the middle of Oklahoma, over $8 a pound for 90% and just under $8 for 80% lean.
For a good year now.
The problem is that is still well veliw the high that a lot of people bought in at.
How much do you pay in New Zealand?

Just coming to ask that. Hey dirtpig, what's that in NZ dollars? Aren't you glad you have a vehicle that runs on diesel now?

Isn't it awesome how Liberals are trying to gaslight the public by using Labor Day as some random date, trying to get the public to forget that gas prices in 2022 were HIGHER for LONGER then they've been in 2026. And there was absolutely nothing going on in 2022, except Biden trying to screw over the citizens.

1) Have you figured out yet, how to get Ukraine and Russia to stop blowing up each others oil production and refining capacity yet?
2) Have you sent a text to the Houthis today, and told them to stop firing missiles at the Saudis oil production and refineries and at ships in the Red Sea?
3) Did you talk to your buddies in the IRGC today, and told them to stop firing drones and missiles at innocent ships in international waterways?
Just think how your diesel prices in NZ would drop, if those three areas were corrected!
As a reminder, this thread is on the Straight of Hormuz closing and the resulting economic issues caused by that specific event. This thread was started way back in March of this year. It is now September. Please keep your posts directly related to that event. The other Iran issues, unless it is a news post directly related to the war, goes in the TIO thread. Avoid the thread drift or this thread will get merged with the TIO thread. Thank you.

Fat finger morning Doc. The .gov would be thrilled with the ten year @ 4.08%. I just looked at it and I’m seeing a 4.803% print on the 10 year.

Note1: yeah right.

If you'd like, I can explain how central banks attempt to influence bond prices and yields, or how inflation impacts this relationship.

Seems that is all you do... rant.
I already told you how long this will last in a previous post. I'ma spell it out fer yuh.
The US consumes on avg 20.6 million bbls/day. 424 /20.6 = 20.6 days
That is less than 1 month. BUT, we do produce oil in the US. Presuming we are not in a world war and the oil production is not attacked by sappers, terrorists or anarchists... we could operate indefinitely but with limited supply.
There are so many possibilities that could unfold, that we need to plan for the worst. That is what governments and military are supposed to do.

Trump said he would end the Ukraine war in 24 hours.... and he could have. Instead, he agreed to fund Zelensky and Trump told us that America would be richer because Z would be buying American weapons. Are you feeling richer today?You can thank your boy, Biden, for that, for starting a war in Ukraine/Russia.
Overview of Russia's Diesel Export Ban
Russia has implemented a ban on diesel exports to address domestic fuel shortages caused by ongoing Ukrainian drone strikes on its oil refineries. This measure aims to stabilize the domestic fuel market amid increasing demand and supply disruptions.
Russia has imposed a ban on diesel exports to support its domestic fuel market amid shortages caused by Ukrainian drone strikes on oil refineries. This ban has been extended until at least September 30, 2026, to maintain stability in the domestic supply.

Russia's diesel export ban deepens global supply crunch
Russia's decision to ban diesel exports last week has roiled global energy markets, exacerbating shortages of the industrial fuel and sending prices soaring, even in countries that no longer buy the fuel from Moscow.
Diesel accounts for the largest share of global oil consumption, and soaring prices can ripple through the global economy given its wide range of uses, from industrial machinery and farm equipment to heavy transport and electricity generation.
Russia is the world's second-largest diesel exporter after the U.S., and refinery outages there can significantly affect global supplies of fuels. Its exports were already slowing prior to the ban due to domestic shortages left by Ukrainian drone attacks.

Funny how a few here completely ignore that important point..
Trump said he would bring peace to the world, and he coveted the Nobel Peace Prize. Trump even established the Board of Peace. This is what "peace" looks like to Trump:
Trump Gaza Casino & Resort- to be built on the blood-soaked ground
Trump profiteering from market manipulations
Trump selling insider trading leads to subscribers @ $100,000 per month
Trump joining the US military under the Israeli military
Trump starting a war with Iran to advance the Greater Israel Project
Trump taking over the oil resources in Venezuela
Trump pirating cargo and oil ships on the open seas
You see, it is not all Biden's fault. Trump is just the next stooge selling out America, but Trump does it more bigly. The Trump family profiteering is far worse than Biden & Clinton cartels.
