CLAIM: The United States is on the verge of running out of diesel fuel.
AP’S ASSESSMENT: False. While data from the Energy Information Administration shows that the U.S. has about a 25-day supply of diesel, the country will not actually run out of fuel soon, experts confirmed to The Associated Press. This figure doesn’t account for ongoing diesel production.
THE FACTS: As of Oct. 28, the most recent data available, the U.S. had 25.8 days’ worth of diesel in its stores — a lower supply than in previous weeks, according to the EIA. That figure, paired with still-high fuel prices domestically and a looming energy crisis in Europe, has some social media users suggesting that in less than a month, no diesel fuel will be available.
“Diesel is going to run out in weeks,” reads text in a TikTok video posted Sunday, as a large truck spewing exhaust from its hood drives past the camera. That clip had been viewed more than 125,000 times as of Monday.
“US sending another $400 million to Ukraine... By the way, we are about out of diesel fuel,” read a tweet posted Friday, receiving more than 4,000 shares.
But this is a misunderstanding of the EIA data, according to agency spokesperson Jeff Barron. He explained that it accounts for current consumption without factoring in the oil that’s imported or produced by refineries, which refill supply.
