If Crude Oil Prices Are Low, Why Not Gasoline and Diesel?

[longknife]

This story @ Why gas prices are rising as oil falls to 6-year lows - MarketWatch gives one reason while this one @ Da Tech Guy Blog Blog Archive How to spike gas prices even while oil prices fall says:


The root causes of both spikes are the same – a lack of new refineries and boutique reformulated gasoline. In suburban Chicago, the largest refinery in the region, and one of only two that produce the RFG that is specific to the Chicago and Milwaukee metropolitan areas, is effectively shut down for at least a month by BP because of a leak in the the main crude unit. In California, a combination of a refinery fire, a strike at a second refinery, and California’s very-special environmental rules kept the price of gasoline extraordinarily high.


So what that refinery output has increased? All it takes is a problem with just ONE of the existing plants and prices go up everywhere. Instead of having a few big ones, why not have more small ones?


Won't happen thanks to the EPA and other government agencies!

Why do you like dirty air and dirty water? Isn't where you live enough space to ruin for others?

Then do your part and walk from now on. Without these Refineries you don't have gas.....so start hoofing it.

Translation ~ R derp don't have a clue what you are talking about, he claims to own a $500,000 dollar house across from Wrigley field but.....

Wait for it wait for it....

Don't own a car and don't have a clue what the cost of gas is in Wrigleyville

I paid $2.189 yesterday (no discount card)

Diesel prices confuse me tho.
Refined less but costs more

Right now, diesel is about $0.50 cheaper than reg. unleaded around here, since gas shot up to almost $2.90.
Normally, gasoline tends to have about a $0.30 range that it fluctuates in - up $0.30, drops back down over the space of a week, bounces back up, and the cycle repeats. Diesel is a lot more stable and doesn't do that.

 

[longknife]

Current So NV prices range from $2.99 to $3.15

Diesel prices are surprisingly lower.

All our fuels are piped in from So Cal where the at-the-pump prices are decidedly higher.

 

[hortysir]

30-40¢ higher than diesel around here

Higher FOR diesel...not Than

The real scam is a few days ago DC lifted the 45 year old US Oil Export Ban. You can see the huge fast subtraction of oil import numbers on the US Debt Clock! These number were climbing but now rapidly spin backwards. The oil fracking boom flooded mid-west US refineries with oil. Then the day they shut down a major US refinery the ban was lifted to ship the oil out of the country. This has spiked gasoline prices in the mid-west by $1/gallon forcing US to pay way more at the pump.

There is very small area requireing Boutique Gasoline out of the many affected states. Gasoline prices spiked all over Illinois, Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, Missouri, Oklahoma, Kentucky, Tennessee, Iowa, Minnesota, Kansas, Nebraska, Wisconsin, North & South Dakota. This is an oil company scam, not an EPA Boutique issue. This BS was to boost prices in the peak driving season. Gas price would be $1.96 like it is in South Carolina, but we pay $1 more here due to this Big Oil Scam. The 45 year oil export ban was lifted, refinery shut down & oil exported to force higher pump prices.

Actually it is the Oil Monopoly shutting down refineries that is jacking up the price. As the price of crude drops they shut down refineries to keep profits high, and oil profits continue to be high.

See that? That's a note I wrote and pasted on a pole in Wrigleyville just down the street from my house. What you are looking at is the stadium where where Cubs play. I left the note there if you wanted it.

See that? That's right on the corner of Racine where you said all those million dollar houses are. Do those look like million dollar homes dipshit?

You made such a big deal out of it I couldn't help myself and went out and took pictures just to show you what a dipshit you are. And you are. A dipshit I mean. Eat crow dipshit.

Peak Oil Crisis Being Compounded by Refinery Closures OilPrice.com
In recent years we lost refineries in Westville, NJ, and Yorktown, Va. A large refinery in southeastern Pennsylvania was shut down in December as was one in New Jersey. A third large Philadelphia refinery is up for sale and will be closed in July if no buyer can be found.

Last week we learned that what once was one of the largest refineries in the world (500,000 barrels a day [b/d]), located in the US Virgin Islands and which has been shipping about 200,000 b/d to the U.S.'s east coast will close next month. If you add up the rated capacities of refineries being closed you are looking at something approaching 1.5 million b/d, but as these refineries were not running at capacity or sending their entire product to the northeastern U.S., we are losing more on the order of 800,000 b/d of daily production. If this is not enough several European refineries, another source for gasoline in the U.S., have recently closed down or are up for sale.

Then, please explain to us WHY they are closing or going out of business. Instead of tripe about the big, greedy oil producers, why not give us FACTS.

Because they have bought congress getting them to lift the 45 year oil export ban. They are planning on shipping our refining jobs & oil out of here. They want to refine it in other countries cheaper & make US pay global market rates to get gasoline or diesel back here in our tanks. It is all about profits & greed.
