Doesn’t matter. You can’t produce gas without producing diesel, jet fuel etc…. It’s part of the same process. Not done separately from each other. There would be no choice but to slow production of diesel which means less gas and less jet fuel plus whatever else is an offshoot of the refining process.

refineries must re-tool weeks ahead of time to vary the ratio of which refined products to produce. It is a guess and they don’t always guess right. More diesel = less gasoline, etc. so it’s not like they all get reduced.

In 2025, the U.S. consumed about 2.94 million barrels per day of diesel fuel, while refineries produced approximately 1.76 billion barrels of ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel annually, averaging about 4.82 million barrels per day. This indicates that production exceeded consumption during that year
