Sorry Guys, I just do not buy the sales pitch that the refineries we have were running af full capacity before the Hurricane, It wouldn't make economic sense to do it, If they were runnig at full capacity they would be making more fuel then they could sell and that is not good business sense to make more of something than you can sell.

I think now that the Refinery down in the gulf is gone the refineries that are left would have to run wide open to keep up with demand but from everything I have ever heard and read they could do it without too much trouble

If it is the case that one refinery goes down and gas prices skyrocket in one week, how come the prices at the pump do not jump sky high everytime they take a plant offline to maintenance a refinery plant?
