Well with Whiting being down in Indiana, looks like we may have a perfect storm.
They’re STILL not saying what caused the outage at Whiting which leads to sabotage or terrorism suspicions.

They have been playing this “outage” game in Whiting for the past 5 years it seems. Always seems to be right when the summer demand for reformulated fuel peaks...

What a coincidence. Every time oil prices go down, refineries blow up all over the place.

Yeah, if I had a refinery when oil prices are low and gasoline margins were high and making me the most pennies per gallon, I would blow it up to make sure my competition made more money while I lost millions....

Wow! That’s a pretty hefty drive for you. And right smack through Houston, I’d imagine, unless you have a secret route.
Yes, I’ve been following both stories since I live in Galveston County. Both situations are under control, PTL.

Yes plus 50 miles one way. I’ve learned to check traffic maps since I have some choices before I head out.
Sometimes it isn’t worth going home until late.

Yea because everybody knows less refinery production = lower prices/less profit.

In the west Houston area....actually witnessed lightning striking a (neighboring) tree, yesterday. Nothing but a huge pink and blue cloud. The tree has a line out, down the side of it, to the base. Splintered pieces went out about 30’, all around.

If your refinery is not running, it is your competition making the profits while you spend money on repairs.
