While jet fuel demand hasn't hit records in the U.S., passenger counts have. Increased fuel efficiency of newer planes. So I did some math- how many fewer gallons would a 787-9 use vs a 777-200 over that 30 years? Any guesses? (same routes, utilization, etc)

Oklahoma became the first U.S. state to see (sustainable) gas prices below $2/gal, we recorded this back in mid-October at the NACS Show in Chicago- the other part of this clip- prices nationally could average below $3 soon & stay there much of the rest of '25

$1.83/gal!! That's the lowest gas price in the nation *today*, at a Shell in Denver, CO, as a result of a price war with local stations.

Challenges persist w/the Olympic Pipeline- both lines are shut, WA has declared an emergency so truckers can drive more hours to provide Jet fuel to SeaTac- though airlines can adaopt by tankering. 5 refineries feed 325kbpd into the line. Hard to replace that capacity w/trucks.

GasBuddy's Thanksgiving Survey found fewer Americans- 60%- are traveling than last year's record of 72%. A softening economy and continued inflation may be partially to blame.

Back in 2017, Trump sought to sell off half the SPR, or 270MMbbl by 2027, but now as the DOE announces today they're refilling the SPR, they cite the "previous reckless 180 million barrel drawdown". How the turntables... have turned.

Hurricane Melissa is likely to severely damage Jamaica's only refinery in Kingston. The Petrojam refinery is very small, with capacity of ~30kbpd, or about 20% of the size of the average US refinery.
