Besides, our problem here is from EPA regs offing our refining capacity I believe.

I read or heard some where that there had not been a new refinery built in this country since the late 70's/early 80's time frame. If that was true, it makes a lot of sense on how a hurricane in the gulf of mexico can cause gas prices to spike in Maine. And with summer coming on the prices will automatically go higher because of all the different blends required by Ca,Md,Pa,NY,NJ ETC.
What I mean is the summer blends have high oxegenators in them to reduce emmissions and reactions with the high temps and humidity. (I have a nephew that works at Conoco Phillips that explained all this stuff) Quite interesting.
