that diesel may be lumped into that category with gasoline

It is harder to measure diesel as there was little to no difference between it and fuel oil used for heating except for taxes and dyes used to track what was taxed. The new ULSD creates a difference but it has no track record to compare and is still used sometimes for fuel oil based on market size and location.

Distillate fuel oil sales including diesel and fuel oil are up about 1% comparing the last two 12 months on record.

Hopefully well.

Weather cooperating for the most part?

Higher ups staying busy as so they don't have to call meeting everyday because they are lonely or need a new chart? (Seems like that around here at times. LOL!)

Splitting out the 2 for gallosns would be interesting even though diesel is more refined than #2 fuel oil. That would be a good indicator as to amount of freight, etc. being moved. I'm sure the loco's have been using more moving all the trains heading east.

The relationship of the US consumer and those that make it happen:
