I can tell you that up here, diesel is in high demand, both for vehicles and farm equipment. It is in just as short supply as gas. Fortunately, while we were in a badly hit area, it is not too long a drive to a slightly less hit area, where gas is still available without long lines. I also have learned by experience to stockpile gas. I used to keep 40 gallons, but am down to 30 because when I moved up here I was informed it is not a hurricane prone area. So far, in the 3 years I have been here, we had Hermine last year and Irma this year. I am now on the hunt for more cans...

Sounds about right. I have family all over Florida lol. Father's sister in West Palm Beach, Mom's uncle in St Pete - everyone got it no matter where in FL you went. The canal I use to live on in Key Largo's gone - was a string of mobile homes there and their all gone. I was seeing pictures of homes on stilts that were designed to withstand cat5 hurricanes be obliterated. I'd think if diesel became that much in demand biodiesel would come to mind.
