Blog Post: Allow Transervice To Assist with Current Fuel Supply Shortage Concerns

The fuel shortage desperation is showing in New England and the mid-Atlantic regions. As New England diesel retail prices are up 75% from the beginning of 2022, per DOE data, in the mid-Atlantic, diesel is up 67%. For most in the transportation industry, it’s not worth the risk, even amid ultra-high prices.

“Due to inherent risks associated with moving products through pipelines from the Gulf region to the Northeast, we’re not in an era where there are any U.S. refiners or big U.S. oil companies would ‘take one for the team’ and bring diesel in where it’s needed.”-Rory Johnston, Commodity Context
