Dumb question—why has diesel diverged so much in price from regular gas?

It’s always been a bit more expensive, but it seems like for a long time it was comparable or a bit more expensive than premium. But recently it’s spiked way up, closer to 50% higher than regular. Is it a refining bottleneck, or some other issue?

1. inventories are tighter, so shortages are more easily felt.
2. demand is inelastic compared to gasoline.
3. refinery limitations make it difficult to ramp up supply.

here's a longer form article if you want details on those.

Not sure why so much more of a spike, but always higher due to a higher tax on it,

a higher global demand for diesel over regular gas, higher refining cost for diesel and a barrel of crude makes less diesel than regular gas.

we're selling a bunch of our oil to foreign countries (esp. Europe) that can't get theirs from the persian gulf. our supplies are lower than they were in 2022 and we have fewer refineries. and our rig count is down (so much for "drill, baby drill"). and we're getting into summer demand season (which may be tamped more than normal due to the prices).

if things opened 100% tomorrow (it won't), it's still 4-6 months at best to unwind it all- then you have the problem of all the destroyed infrastructure in the persian gulf.

it's fucked for a while.

in the short term, i think we've got another dollar at least to go in the next 6-8 weeks.

we're getting negative pricing in Texas because the drillers don't know what to do with all the gas that comes up with the oil.
