The consumption of the army is greater, yeah.That doesn't really work either. The amount of fuel consumed in peacetime is nothing to wartime so enough refined diesel to be usable to them in war wouldn't be consumed in a timely fashion in peace.
That's why the Strategic Reserves are, in fact, petroleum and not any refined fuels.
And yes, the military is dependent on supply chains and refineries. The US is in fact staggeringly good at it, most of the military power of the US rests on how amazing US Logistics are.
But the private economy is larger than the military, so IMHO this type of rotation might work.
As I said, I doubt any military can afford not to have emergency, usable fuel supplies on hand for an emergency, a few weeks to a month.
What happens if there is sabotage and someone targets pipelines and refineries, or if something like the 70s oil shock reoccurs.
Having just one reserve that is made up of unrefined oil is IMHO a bad idea.
