The storage problem is beginning to hit US oil producers as tank farms

domestic oil it will drive prices downward in the commodity auction
pool, possibly by a large amount. The other good news is that
imported oil will continue to be squeezed out of the US market and put
additional pressure on the Russians and Venezuela.
I need to fuel up our trawler one of these days with 900 gallons of
diesel before we take off for a spring cruise. I've been delaying in
the expectation of lower prices. Stay tuned.

$5 a toll on diesel Kona. $2.99 regular Costco.

Diesel should get a double boost - first as crude inventories continue
to pile up, and second as winter heating oil demand starts to drop
off.
