I told you people like to bitch. lol
Oh yeah. The refineries are shutting down for turnaround, and the shortage this year may be ethanol, not petroleum. Ethanol producers may not be able to produce enough of that federally mandated liquid.
There is one new refinery being built in the Southwest, Arizona I believe. Other refineries are adding capacity rather than new facilities.
Building a refinery doesn't just involve building the plant; it requires a lot of support structure, supply and pipelines. Most times it's cheaper to add on than build greenfield.
I'll be commuting on my Silverwing this summer, I think. D@mn!!!
