Weeelllllllll, just a reminder, folks. If you change the word "oil" to "energy" or "electricity," you'll find that it is an almost exact duplicate of the "excuses" for the "supposed" energy crisis in CA a few years back.

I'd say that the refinery problems are much the same thing. As soon as they want to jack the price of gas they start crying that the refineries have to be down for maintenance, blah, blah, blah. Then when they get the prices up the "maintenance" problems go away until the next time they have to explain why the price of gas has gone up.

refined products. With
