Where are buyers turning for diesel, and what policy tools are governments using to soften price shocks? Jeff Mower , Americas Oil News Director, unpacks these issues with Brazil Refined Products Manager Renato Rostas , Americas Middle Distillates Managing Editor Aaron Tucker , and Mexico Energy Editor Sheky Espejo .
