Heating oil, which is chemically similar to diesel, is primarily used in New York, Pennsylvania and New England, where most distribution is handled by small, family-owned businesses.

This year, New England's inventories of stockpiled heating oil are about 70 percent lower than their average level since 1993, government data show.

Supplies are lower this year due to the same factors impacting world oil markets, including the failure to rebuild production capacity following the pandemic, and disruptions from Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Keep voting for Joe Biden and friends, blue states. That should fix things.

Most likely we’re out of heating oil because we’re refining more diesel...which is then being sent to Europe to make up for their Suicide-Sanctions on Russia.

"70 percent lower than their average level since 1993"

How many people will understand that that means fuel oil inventory is LESS THAN ONE-THIRD of normal? And we are only one month into Autumn!

Wait till they have to burn tires, electric cars, and trash in 55 gallon drums. With no diesel or heating oil. Food and heat will be hard to find. It’s not going to be pretty.

Contrary to what the article says, home heating oil is not “chemically similar to diesel”. It IS diesel, with one exception - no federal highway tax. I have heard stories of guys using the untaxed heating oil in diesel trucks. Big fine if you’re caught.

Yep.
They dye it.
They can pull a filter and see if you’re using it in your vehicle.
