...actually, that trend is reversing.

Look at the recent mine "disaster".

There we're 208 safety violations there, all we get from the presstitutes is heartstring circle jerks.

Yeah, everyone agrees oxygen is dangerous mixed with gasoline("unless it makes money, then will try it until something blows up, then when it blows up we can put in the new design we're working on now that's even more profitable")

That's just crazy. Refineries cost multiple billions of dollars and several years to build. When you blow one up, you lose money for the several years that it does not run. Multiply $2.00/gal x 1200 gal/min x 60 min/hr x 24 hr/day x 365 day/yr x 5 years and you get an idea of the lost revenues. Multiply that by 0.10 and you get an idea of the lost profits. Then you spend billions to build the new one. You cannot make enough money lowering the density of gasoline by "pumping" oxygen into it to remotely justify the risk.

The "new design that's even more profitable" would decrease operating costs by some minor percentage. If there were a major profit available, the unit would be retrofit with the design to take advantage of the profits.

Ignoring the fact that you cannot "pump" enough oxygen into gasoline to affect the density, blowing up the old refinery unit is not a profitable plan.
