Higher prices won't help when there is limited refinery capacity. If the price is high enough demand will go down, so the high prices will help even if the supply is capped. Of course if the supply is unresponsive to higher prices it might take much higher prices to make the demand go down enough. If prices go up high enough there might be political pressure to control prices even if it is a stupid idea economically. People in the US would likely get very angry over $5/gallon gasoline. Tim
