> Diesel supplies in Florida ahead of Hurricane Dorian appear adequate, but reports conflict. GasBuddy data showed 39% of West Palm Beach stations out of diesel, while the Florida Petroleum Marketers Association said diesel was fine and gasoline resupply was constrained by truck congestion at terminal racks. Rack prices began rising on August 30 in anticipation of the storm.
