The right wingnut logic, fed by the chimp Caesar hisself, goes like this: The poor, put upon oil companies have been stymied in their patrotic quest to build more refineries and supply America with gasoline by liberal Democrat enviormentalists, lawyers and judges that hate freedom. The Federal government is powerless to stop them. Bush and the Republicans, that control every branch of government, are just poor victims here. -------------------------------------------------------------- If you're interested, here's the actual truth: wyden.senate.gov

Adding government regulation via ethanol standards was a severe blow to the supply chain this year. I read it about it a few months ago. It's starting to creep up on everyone. Honestly, the refining margins have to take a severe blow at some point with this kind of regualtion. I'm glad Bush is letting mtbe back into the market before things get bad. I agree with you about driving habits. Here is a good example, when I take my son to baseball games, every parent down there drives seperately. 2 cars for each player. Apart from the waste of fuel, there aren't enough parking spots. It's a classic waste of resources. Of course, everybody can afford the gas, so no one is bitching even at $3 a gallon. I noticed a big change in driving habits last fall when gas hit record prices. I think that demand this summer will fall way back.
