    Quoted from Atari_Daze:

    Are you talking about Diesel fuel itself used for combustion or the oil used to lubricate the moving parts of the engine?
    Diesel fuel itself is a byproduct of the crude oil refining process, so if we are refining crude, we are making diesel. It used to just be waste until some guy, last name Diesel designed an engine to run on this byproduct.
    And we are continuing to refining crude, so I'm not sure where there is a shortage of the lubrication fluids, other than still ramping up production from the pandemic era shut downs? Unfortunately drilling rigs nor refineries can just instantly turn on their productions.

    The petroleum industry ramp up happened quickly - what’s happening right now is that demand for diesel (and specifically the additives) is very very high, because all the OTHER industries are trying to keep up with their own (inflated due to the pandemic lull) demand. It will settle - if only because the global supply chain is still crazy. If more trucks are using diesel, it means boats can’t refuel as often, and stuff won’t make it to the destination as quickly. Global economics is fun! But it’s even more fun when countries are not working together
