Default Re: Peak Oil, diesel first to go?

Hmm .... 🤔 Maybe I'm missing something, but Diesel and Gasoline are derived from the same stuff - crude oil.

Refining 10ltrs of crude oil produces approximately:

4.6 ltrs of Gasoline (46%)
0.9 ltrs of Kero (9%)
2.6 ltrs of Diesel (26%)
and
1.9 ltrs of (heavy oil, lubricants, asphalt and other stuff) (19%)

These ratios do not move by much and as far as I know there is no way to refine crude oil and not also produce diesel. i.e. you can not one day decide to produce 10 litres of gasoline from 10 litres of crude oil.

The article like all previous peak oil predictions is misleading and full of non-facts.
