Tuesday, July 28, 2026
U.S. refineries are producing more diesel fuel relative to gasoline due to higher profit margins on diesel sales.

This shift has reduced the relative availability of gasoline in the U.S. market. The change reflects global demand patterns and pricing dynamics in fuel markets.
