Have you noticed how when someone farts or they think something "might" happen gas goes up. Now with the Hurricane they think they are justified. But guess what, it takes many days for any problem in supply to reach the consumer. Guess what, the price of gas goes up at the pump within hours. My station Phillips 66 pays for a delivery in their tanks at a given price. They say they only make 3 cents a gallon. Look for a reason any reason, a light bulb burning out, and as do all stations, they raise the price, like 25 cents on that already paid for gas. So they are now making 28 cents a gallon. This is a Rip Off. There is no shortage of oil, gas or greed.
There is no reason for an industry to make more refineries if the investment required will lower the price. That would be a loss of control. The Oil industry made a 38% increase over last years profits. Don't feel sorry for any Oil involved greed mungers. Maybe someone should make money by selling stickers to put on pumps "Rip Off Don't take it Quietly". They think we are stupid.
