Fly, Re: Refining capacity I work in the refining industry and there is a problem with this. Our refinery is at max through put and we have been at max for some time ( 8 years plus ) now. Most of the Refineries on the west coast have had problems, ie: Fires, mechanical failure or having to shut down for routine maint. the last two years. There is also an ongoing retrofit issue to meet stronger ( nox ) air board standards that has plagued all of the existing refineries. At our current levels of through put we can barely keep up with demand and thats if we run 365 days a year and never shut down. Now in Europe they have a supply problem, most of the stations are out of fuel completely and fuel is over 5.00/gl Ouch!! FWIW
