More diesel news; when it rains............
More diesels bound for US market. This sucks. Diesel is about 10 cents higher then regular around here. :) If every soccer mom in the US gets a diesel it will drive #2 up, up, up and out of sight. ...

On the bright side, the first new refinery built in the US since 1973 IS under construction in North Dakota.
Being built in the SW area of the state, near Dickinson ND.
Due to the Bakken oil boom there, the plan is for this refinery to specialize in production of, drum roll please :B , diesel fuel.
Many do not know, but diesel fuel is one of the substances used in the fracking of all those oil wells being drilled in North Dakota. In addition, anyone traveling in western North Dakota can surely attest to the incredible number of semi trucks operating in the area, which also need the diesel.
So perhaps with a local source in place for Bakken operations, the diesel supply will loosen some for the rest of the country, and hopefully, keep the price at a decent level.
