Diesel fuel explained
www.eia.gov
... Where does the diesel fuel consumed in the United States get produced?
U.S. petroleum refineries produce most of the diesel fuel the United States consumes. Most of the diesel fuel consumed in the United States is distillate fuel with a sulfur content of 15 parts per million or less, which is called ultra-low sulfur distillate or ULSD. ULSD is used as diesel fuel and as heating oil. Biomass-based diesel fuels (biodiesel and renewable diesel) also contribute to the supply of diesel fuel.
In 2025, U.S. refineries produced about 1.76 billion barrels (73.80 billion gallons) of ULSD.
Total ULSD consumption in the United States for all uses was about 1.42 billion barrels (59.56 billion gallons). Although ULSD production was higher than ULSD consumption, the United States imported about 0.06 billion barrels (2.40 billion gallons) of ULSD, and about 84% of those imports were from Canada.
In 2025, total ULSD imports were equal to about 4% of total ULSD consumption in the United States. The United States exported about 0.40 billion barrels (16.77 billion gallons) of ULSD in 2025. You can find more information in our Petroleum Supply Monthly. ...

Trump Biographer Claims Prez Went Off On Secret Service After He Was Denied a Door Lock And Lost His Mind Over Changed Bedsheets... as Chaos Erupts At White House
radaronline.com
... Things are getting ugly at the White House, according to Donald Trump biographer Michael Wolff, and it's all due to door locks and bedroom sheets, RadarOnline.com can reveal.
Wolff, known for the 2018 Trump-focused book Fire and Fury, claimed the president went off on his own security and staff after realizing things weren't up to par.
Why Did Trump Lose His Mind?
Making an appearance on the Inside Trump's Head podcast, Wolff claimed Trump had installed a lock on his bedroom door in the White House, despite the Secret Service not giving him the green light.
The disagreement led to a "confrontation," according to the author, who claimed the Secret Service "actually took [the lock] off, demanded that it be taken off."
Wolff also claimed another moment featured Trump going crazy after the White House's domestic staff changed his bedsheets.
He claimed Trump "had a fit. What that's about, I have no idea." ...
