you have some good points there james. by the way cahnge your sig, it still says sign up for sz05. on the up side I saw prices in newaygo MI jump at first up to 3.79 for regular unleaded. 3.99 for premium. Ubout an hour later they were down to 3.59 3.79 respectively. now this morning prices were back down to 3.19 3.39 in grand rapids. I do agree there needs to be much more emphasis on building more, better refineries. There is no way in hell that the oil companies or the government can expect 30 year old refineries to keep up with todays demand. Just as car companies are being force by the government to build cleaner more efficient cars, so too should the oil companies have to build cleaner, more efficient refineries. Also the refineries can only refine so much oil at a time and since so many refineries are down I dont see why the prices of crude are going up either, and in that case why are we tapping the national reserve for crude oil when we cat refine that oil anyway. Something is very fishy with this picture.
