I'm pretty sure teh 60 days fuel reserve is bullshit. 60 days was forced out of the fuel industry by the government when it tried to make up for its own quite incredible failure of locating AU fuel reserve in the US and then have it mostly used by Biden in 2018. Such an incredible failure it really did get traction in parliament etc. and things were done, but- ! -responsibility was handed off to industry.Forget that they never got to the 90 day international stipulation, just think about how many ways industry can double count and pretend storage that doesn't really exist. This isn't what should have happened which was "build XXX thousand barrels of tank farm, fill them circulate them". Still I guess there was 20 or 30 days, plus whatever straggling tankers and deals. Still a lot better than the super optimal JIT 3 days in the pipes the fuel industry was previously working towards. We might be alright.
