I think your linked store is the diesel shortage in a nut shell. Even down here in my area with 7 refineries within 75 miles we have had not shortages but longer loading lines from closed loading racks.
The racks that are open have plenty of diesel. The gooferment has mandated that x amount of refineries start making ultra low diesel by June 1 2006. This requires refineries to shut down for update work and cleaning out tanks. This forces driver to load at other racks causing longer lines so someone goes without that day. We are also mandated we can not work over 60 hrs a week. Once a rack comes back online with ultra low no one loads there because most stations have not switched over to ultra low yet. Leave it to the gooferment to screw a good system all up.
