SEE TAG LINE The fact is every year around memorial day some refineries here in the USA has some major problem and has to shut down for 3-6 months, therefore driving up the cost of gas through the summer months. There is no justification when oil is lets say 90 bucks a barrel and it goes up to 92 bucks and the price at the pump goes up 20-30 cents. You don't believe it's a racket I do so we can end with that.

I still don't understand you're reference to "dead dinosaurs and plant life". What exactly does that have to do with refinery performance??
Maybe this could shed some light. Refining is quite complex and the regulations very stringent. LOTS of variables.

Your saying I was clueless about refining oil and my come back was that you probable still think that oil is a byproduct of dead animals and plant life that it is a limited resource. The Russians have been laughing at us since the 60's when we came out with the peak oil BS because they discovered oil deeper than what could of possible came from plant life and animals. The reason I think the who thing is a racket is due to the fact that Standard oil old Rockefeller him self was selling oil to the Nazi out of South America while the USA was on gas rationing where do you thing they got the technology for coal gasification? The regulations on gas is a smoke screen for higher prices. In the 70's we had the embargo Carter had a plan to get us off foreign oil what happened? Special interest (big oil) squashed those plans. Oil in the 90's was what 10 bucks a barrel and 1.50 a gallon for gas now it's over 100 bucks and it's 4.00 dollars a gallon? Do the math they have been screwing us for years. When Ford made his first cars they ran off alcohol then Standard oil got involved and what happened? The company that sold 90% of the oil to light the world now had it's grip on the new auto business. It's all a game read the book
Big Oil & Their Bankers In the Persian Gulf: Four Horsemen, Eight Families and Their Global Intelligence, Narcotics and Terror Network.
