This is on the money Paw- And I don't think very many people DO understand the damned if you do, damned if you don't situation down there.
Part of the overall problem is that there are so many goverment regulations the oil companies have not been able to build new refineries in years and years. Seem most of the refineries are located in Louisiana and Texas so we all take it on the chin when something like this happens. Another excuse to raise the price of fuel... Good that this "hope and change" is working for everyone.
