Should we talk about the elephant?

East Coast production has been dwindling over the past decade.

Diesel fuel is up 2.50 to 2.70 a gallon over last year. This is per EIA Energy Information Admin which we truckers and suppliers use as the bible for how diesel fuel surcharges are calculated. The difference is how truckers base their matrix for passing on the cost to the shipper and it gets passed down to the consumer.
The average RVer drives 5000 miles a year at 5 miles a gallon at 5.50 a gallon your spending 25000 more a year. Most in this thread pay more a year to fix cruise airs.
As for the authors of the articles being written about diesel shortage’s look closely most are green leaning environmentalist pushing the EV Agenda. You are already seeing articles about EV jump in sales due to increased fuel costs. In the 70’s they sold alot of Pintos. They didn’t know or care that they exploded on impact. One article attached to another thread calling for shortages is a oil company in W Penn producing 70,000 gallons a day, whoopi.
If you guys are fueling at breakfast lunch or dinner it’s your own fault. Fuel early am or late night and you won’t find a truck around.
We in the trucking business have not gotten any indication of shortages. Unfortunately it is political and depending on where you stand is what you believe.

Electric Cars sound appealing – quiet, able to charge at home vs having to stop at a gas station.
I’ve also been considering an electric zero turn mower for my 4 acre lawn. The potential to simply plug in vs having to go out and fill up a couple fuel cans is quite compelling.
However talk to a EMS crew about Electric Car fires – the few I have chatted with say they are a disaster. Takes a lot more water and all they can really do is keep try to keep it from spreading.
