With the shelter-in-place directives, fewer miles are being driven. CHS Senior Vice President of Refined Fuels Jason Schwantz says the gasoline sales influence the diesel fuel sector. “Diesel fuel is readily available, but gasoline and diesel fuel move through the same pipelines and it is a logistics issue; we’ve got to make sure enough gas keeps moving so we can get that diesel fuel to the farmers that use it.” The energy sector has been battered by the oil dispute between Saudi Arabia and Russia. The ethanol industry has also been devastated by demand destruction. “This does provide an opportunity to buy cheaper diesel fuel; let’s fill those tanks up to take advantage of this lower price.”
