32 pumps at 3 stations between my work and my gym all selling gas.
4 of those pumps at 2 of those stations selling diesel.
That’s the difference between readily available and limited availability.
I don’t see long lines for diesel because if there was enough demand to make long lines they’d put it in more pumps. Like I said, that’s the circle, people don’t buy diesel vehicles because it’s not readily available, and it’s not readily available because people don’t own enough diesel vehicles to create demand. What I do see though is that the 2 pumps at a station that have diesel tend to be the most convenient corners for entry and exit, which makes them the most popular pumps, which makes them the most often occupied. My “favorite” station (until Chevron sold it) was a 16 pumper with 2 diesel on opposite corners, I almost never got gas at the diesel pumps because they were always occupied, I’d swing into the middle pumps where there were always one or two empty. And yes sometimes there’d be a car waiting in line at the diesel pumps.
Having to wait in line because it’s only at 2 pumps while gas burners have their selection of a dozen unoccupied pumps is limited availability, by the very definition of the words. See there is a limited number of pumps available, pretty easy stuff.
If they add 20 more gas pumps, are you going to claim the unchanged diesel pumps are now less available.
Go on with your claims. You are not convincing anyone with sense. Most of the stations you pass have diesel and they do not have long lines. How are you restricted? You really feel like waiting behind a car or two is restrictive? It is common for me at the low priced stations.
