> Libs owned: Gasoline prices PLUMMET after Trump announces export ban.

U.S. gasoline prices will spike further if the Trump Administration bans diesel exports, Morgan Stanley analysts say, as restrictions remain a debate amid record-high diesel prices in America.

“A diesel export ban could have the counterintuitive effect of an increase in gasoline prices if US refiners cut runs,” analysts at Morgan Stanley wrote in a note carried by Bloomberg.

A ban on diesel exports would force U.S. refiners to cut refinery utilization rates because they would run out of storage for the diesel within just a few weeks. Reduced refinery utilization would crimple gasoline production, too, because the fuels are produced together, according to Morgan Stanley.

As a result, U.S. gasoline prices would spike further, from already record-high levels for this time of year.

As of September 23, the national average regular retail gasoline price was $4.4744 per gallon, according to AAA data.

That’s up from $4.10 a gallon a month ago, and way above the $3.17 per gallon average price drivers paid at this time last year.

Diesel prices have jumped to $6.52 per gallon, up from $3.69 in the same week of 2025.
