Dumbo - I just posted an article by Senator Ron Widen that showed that oil companies have been CLOSING existing refineries to keep the cost of gasoline high! Why will they BUILD refineries when they're CLOSING existing refineries?

In 1976 the average mpg in America was about 10 mpg! Today, it's twice that. Oil companies often SHUT DOWN refineries to tighten supplies and drive up the price!

You think if the oil companies build MORE refineries, the price of gas will come down? LOL!
