And people wonder why the price of diesel is going up so fast. It’s in part because Ukraine is destroying the refineries and depots.

I really hate to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but....

I have to wonder if Z is deliberately targeting those refineries and fuel depots in order TO drive up the cost of diesel .... and in effect, to help tank Trump and GOP approval numbers... right before the mid-terms. I know, I know...

it sounds paranoid, doesn’t it. But that IS how these cretins (the Z supporters and their leftist Democrat friends) roll.

Before the Iran War, while Ukraine was attacking Russian refineries, the average price of regular diesel was $3.76 It has now surged past $6.00

So no, the current high price of gasoline and diesel is NOT because of Ukraine, its because the Strait of Hormuz is effectively closed.

Before the conflict in late February, the national average price for a gallon of diesel in the U.S. was about $3.76, according to AAA
