Two top US energy department officials said on Tuesday they were working with refiners at home and abroad to boost fuel output as a diesel shortage raises worries about prices and inflation ahead of the November midterm elections.
The Trump administration has taken several steps to try to lower fuel prices that have surged since the start of the Iran war on February 28, including relaxing restrictions on Russian diesel exports, invoking the Defense Production Act to boost output, and allowing commercial vehicles to run on red-dyed diesel normally limited to off-road equipment. #oott https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/us-energy-department-official-says-working-with-refiners-producing-more-diesel-2026-10-20/
