Goldman Sachs estimates a ban would first cut diesel prices by about 25 cents a gallon, then add about 30 cents a gallon to gasoline for each week it lasts once storage fills.
This is a forecast the story explicitly attributes to Goldman Sachs. CBS News carries the Goldman 25c/30c figures. The desk is reporting that Goldman made the estimate, not adopting it.

Diesel averaged $6.45 a gallon on Monday (Sept. 28), just under the $6.53 record set Sept. 22.
These are plausible national-average price figures, and Sept. 28, 2026 is a Monday. However, the story names no price source, such as AAA or EIA, and no listed source description carries either number.

On Sept. 24, Trump called for halting diesel exports and the White House denied it was planning a 90-day ban.
The denial is attributed to the White House, and Reuters confirms it. However, Reuters and 24/7 Wall St date the denial Sept. 23, not Sept. 24, so the date conflicts with the sources.

Energy Secretary Chris Wright warned that stranded diesel would force refineries to cut production.
The story attributes the warning to Wright. political.org reports divisions signaled by Wright and Bessent, and the AFPM/FT and S&P analyses support the run-cut mechanism. No listed source quotes Wright's exact warning.

By Sept. 28, Trump said he was 'very seriously' considering a ban.
The quote is attributed to Trump and is plausibly carried by the Sept. 28 NYT, CBS and Bloomberg pieces. No listed source description confirms the exact wording.

The US exports about 1.2 to 1.5 million barrels of diesel a day, net.
The range is broadly supported: Yahoo Finance gives 1.26M b/d for 2025 and Kpler via Traders Union gives about 1.4M b/d. However, TokenPost cites a record 1.6M b/d in August, and EIA weekly data show 1.935M b/d. 'Outlets differ' names no identifiable source, and the qualifier 'net' is not supported

60-70% of US diesel exports go to Latin America.
The story attributes this to BBC News. EIA destination data partly corroborate it (Mexico 17%, Brazil 103,000 b/d, Chile), but no listed source independently confirms the 60-70% range.
