You using a different source for this forecast, or is this the same source that said oil was going to be $200/bbl by now, and we would be rationing gas?

Thats just for Diesel based on refining capacity. Those estimates are Bloomberg and others. Diesel will be at least near the price it is today this time next year and it may be higher. It certainly will not significantly come down any time soon. It would help a lot of we could magically get some new US diesel refineries up and running within the next 6 months.
