Not hardly Racer1, you would be amazed at how little the margin is between what refinerys charge and what they have to pay for the product. (Far less than almost any other industry.) The ones that really come out ahead are the trading companies that drive up the price artificially drive up prices—they contribute nothing to finding oil and gas and contribute nothing to the downstream business. If you don’t like this, you really won’t like gore’s carbon credit fraud scam....it will make Oil Traders look like saints.

Oh I agree with you on the carbon credit scam, the thin margins and environmental regulation which is sometimes a good idea. Thats why I said it is tough to run a refinery, but todays CEOs and their salary teams are squeezing manufacturing to the point of no return for personal profit (bonuses).
