only if it results from subsidies. not from relaxed regulations (inhibiting drilling and new refinery construction) and perhaps some tax amnesty to take a bit of the bite out of the price of the fuel...not everyone on FR makes $100k a year...

I sure don't, plus I have a single income and 10 mouths to feed. OK my oldest is getting married soon but it still seems like I send a lot of money her way.

I don't see why so many people think "they" want to build more refineries. Why would they, they can maximize profits right now by carefully controlling consumption through price. "Peak Oil" is just around the corner and any new refineries will be a waste at that point. How long does a refinery last? 50 years? We will hit peak oil way before that and yet so many Freepers (not you) delude themselves into thinking enviros have prevented "them" from building these problem solving refineries that make the price of gas fall like a rock. It's just not the case.
