want to hear some truth about oil refineries.
my dad works at one in kansas. they are making 16$ a barrel of oil a day of profit. that profit. they are a 100000 barrel oil a day ref. 1.6 millon a day is what they are making. last quarter they made 35 million dollar and what was weird they were on turnaround for about 2 month, which they shut parts of it down for maintaince.
as to opec controlling supply, if they slow production down it usually take 3 months for that oil to reach the refineries.
plain and simple it is price gouging, and its not going to get better with bush and cheney in the white house. both are big oil people.
also i payed 1.98 per gal today. took 42 buck to fill my truck up.
