I work in the refineries as a contract employee and travel all over.
The refineries ALL had to build multiple units at a cost of half a billion or so for each refinery. These operate at a cost of electrical power, cost of operating personnel and are very expensive to maintain. To continue to turn a profit and stay in business, the only choice was to raise the price.
Refineries think 8% is a good anual profit. Amazon and Microsoft make over 30% every year...
Increase domestic oil and gas production and then, just for fun, tell Greta Thunberg.
Awful big of you Elon... (spit)
