Yes, you're right about the annual cycle - but that does not mean that there won't be a temporary shortage due to refinery shutdowns - a lot of diesel comes out of light sweet crude - particularly with the US going to low sulphur diesel!

$1.34.9 here still for diesel. Like Ed, same as it has been for ages.





and look at these silly Queenslander's. Driving around on subsidised fuel which costs the state a bomb, and yet in "The Great Southeast" have no water to drink or wash in. Doesn't make sense.......
