September 17th, 2026
Via: Newsweek:
Photos appearing to show gas stations running out of diesel have spread across social media as U.S. fuel prices climb to record highs, but industry data does not currently show any widespread shortages.
…
However, Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, cautioned against interpreting individual stations as evidence of national shortages.
“GasBuddy is not seeing any high level outages in our data, nor through our Pay with GasBuddy card,” De Haan wrote on X, adding that current shortages remained within normal levels.
In a second post, De Haan warned of “false alarmists” spreading claims that stations are widely running out of diesel.
