"RIYADH – Diesel shortages were recently reported at gas stations in the capital as a large number of trucks and diesel-powered vehicles formed long lines to fill up their tanks both in the city and on the outskirts.

Truck drivers say they have noticed a shortage of diesel over the past few days, especially at gas stations located on the Riyadh-Al-Qassim Highway and the Riyadh-Makkah Highway, with waiting times reaching a few hours and in some cases an entire day."

-- Gas shortages happening within the world's largest (net) oil exporter is something to watch closely. -- JB, Managing Editor
