....and speaking of refinery shutdowns, here's an unscheduled one in Illinois. Scratch another 166,000 bbls/dy of inventory for the next week!! (Crude is now back to 34.65 and Natural Gas up to 5.25 for October delivery)

Traders said prices also rose because a crude oil unit at Tosco Corp.'s 166,000-barrel-a-day refinery in Wood River, Illinois, was taken down for unplanned maintenance. The company wouldn't confirm the reports.

The Tosco refinery, which is near St. Louis, will be out of service until Sept. 21, traders said. The shutdown comes with U.S. inventories of crude oil, heating oil and gasoline below year-ago levels
