I seldom send multiple e-mails per day, let alone super-quick ones, but the situation demands it.

NYC Billionaire Catsimatidis Warns of Looming East Coast Diesel Rationing

• East Coast diesel stockpiles are the lowest on record

• Diesel prices have risen 16 straight days to a new record

The diesel crisis in the US may get worse this summer with the potential of shortages and rationing on the East Coast, said billionaire refinery and fuel station owner John Catsimatidis. 

“I wouldn’t be surprised to see diesel being rationed on the East Coast this summer,” Catsimatidis, CEO of United Refining Co., said in a phone interview. “Right now inventories are low and we may see a shortage in coming months.”

I have covered this recently and warned about the potential of said shortage and the coming fuel rationing before, and if now the media and CEOs of big companies are publicly announcing, it means there is a high likelihood of this event taking place.

Again, if you need something for work, or anything else, you should really think of buying it NOW, the events taking place are the cost of the last few months, and not the cost of the current lockdowns in China and everything else.

Also this one.

I hope you all have a very nice rest of the day, and be well.
