Refinery issues are constraining U.S. fuel supply, contributing to higher gasoline and diesel prices.

How it reaches your house.
Starting from Gasoline and diesel, we walked the supply graph hop by hop to the goods you buy and the companies you own. Each step is the engine’s reasoning, scored for confidence and cited where a source backs it.
First impact
Gulf Coast crude oil feedstock (jet fraction) →Prices riseRefinery issues curtail conversion of this feedstock into jet fuel, and the edge is highly dependent (0.95) and marked critical, so jet fuel becomes more expensive.
95% confidenceCrude Oil Feedstock →Shortage riskCrude oil feedstock is the critical input for gasoline and diesel, so a refinery/feedstock squeeze directly tightens their supply.
93% confidenceGasoline and diesel →Prices riseInflation
CNBC explicitly says diesel's high price is heightening inflation worries, so the fuel-price shock feeds into broader price pressure.
“Diesel is the fuel most embedded in the economy and its high price is heightening inflation worries.”
Hop 2
Home heating oil →DelaysHydrotreating / Desulfurization (ULSHO Production)
Refinery incidents directly interrupt hydrotreating/desulfurization, a critical ULSHO production step with high dependency strength, which slows home heating oil output.
