The article highlights the U.S. diesel crack spread hitting a record $102/bbl before easing to roughly $100/bbl. For diesel-heavy refiners such as Valero, a sustained crack spread at these levels is a direct margin tailwind, even though the article does not name any refiner.
Risk: Record crack spreads can attract government intervention, windfall taxes, or demand destruction as high fuel prices curb consumption.

The article emphasizes that diesel powers long-distance goods transport and that 'price surges and fuel stockouts invariably lead to product shortages and bursts of inflation.' Truckload carriers like J.B. Hunt face sharply higher fuel costs and potentially weaker freight volumes as diesel scarcity bites.
Risk: Fuel surcharges may pass through much of the cost, so the net impact depends on freight rates, volumes, and whether the economy enters a demand-destroying downturn.
