$3.55/gal regular unleaded from Circle K nears my place. It was up from $3.49/gal just a few days ago.

The article header is right there in front of your eyes but you obviously need glasses.

Absolutely, get me a job running a Refinery and watch how it supped to be done.

It would never happen because of the collusion in this Thug Industry wide Government sponsored Modern Mafia.

The only ones doing deceiving is you and your buds Lopped and Jowo

It's in Black and White for all the world to see.

Gasoline Pump Prices Soaring on Refinery Repairs
He was referring to the sub-header of "refinery incompetence", which you wedged into the article as if it were a heading from bloomberg. It was not.

Nope, most of these refineries were running properly before the maintenance shutdowns otherwise there would have been gas shortages in October, November, and December.

Why would the refinery secure the services or repairs from a company that didn't do the job correctly and/or improve reliability/performance of the equipment?

One more time Dave why were you fired?

Why do I have 23 years of service with the company for whom I work? Why have I been promoted 3 time in the last 5 years? Why do I have a damned good salary without a college degree?

There are articles all over the place that they are broken. No, there's a couple had fires or electrical issues

http://online.wsj.com/article/BT-CO-20130204-707734.html

Where is the reliability? If the refineries weren't reliable how could they produce enough to meet the needs in the US and have extra for export sales?

You can't have it both ways.

Oh yeah that's right, the U.S. Government is complicent in this scam so you do have it both ways.

That is the excuse they are using now once again as they have many times over the years.

You and your thugs get paid more profit using these excuses.

Of course you are cushy in that job, your Industry gets rewarded for incompetence.

Oh and one more thing you are wrong yet again about.

I was not fired.

I resigned.

Why did I resign?

Oh yeah dumb southern Georgians that didn't know anything about Technology.

Because you were going to be fired for violating policy

Get your facts straight if you are going to spew shit.

It so easy to search your name and Georgia on google to find out about your incompetent move that almost caused you to do time in prison.

You know, I like dmcowen. I don't really agree with the conspiracy stuff but he is fun nonetheless. I've never felt the need to argue with him or anything. We ARE getting bent over by the gas prices afterall.

This gas station just changed the price to $3.65/gal, a day after it changed from $3.49 to $3.55.

I loves Chimago

$4.15 in the cheaper part of town. It must be close to $5 in the city.

Recovery Killer? Gas Prices Barrel Toward $4 a Gallon



Five dollar a gallon gas "is a real possibility" said John Kilduff, partner at Again Capital in New York. "This is partly being driven by the lost refinery capacity of about one million barrels per day...that's a lot."


Kilduff cited Hess's (HES) closure of a key refinery hub in Port Reading, New Jersey in January as a major factor that has sent gas on a tear.


"Prices haven't looked back since," he said.


"It's one of about eight refineries that have announced closure.



Now the East Coast is heavily reliant on [gas] imports when it used to be self-sufficient," Kilduff stated.

Should gas prices threaten the $5 threshold, market watchers say that the White House could come under pressure to release petroleum reserves to combat price surge.

\At least they can't use the excuse the Refineries are broken anymore and the incompetent U.S. workers will be out of a job.

LMAO!!!! I'm currently assisting with quotes for 3rd, 4th quarters this year and 1st, 2nd quarters next year. We have a good backlog for the remainder of this quarter and next quarter. These quotes are not confined to the gas refining business, we have quotes for projects in the oil production, natural gas transmission, power generation, and paper industries.

MCOWEN gas is not already over 5 in Chicago. Also In light of your misrepresentation of the Bloomberg article you misquoted yesterday if you keep lying in the thread I will report you and you know historically this results in you blowing up crazy style until you get banned. Stop lying in this thread.

Call Rob Johnson at CBS New Chicago, they are ones showing the stations on TV.

I posted the fucking article saying so you fucking twat.

You are the one that should get your fucking ass vacationed.

You mean this CBS Chicago? The one with the map showing local gas prices, not a single one of which is over $5 a gallon, and in fact, most are in the $4.10 to $4.30 range?

You said gas is already over $5 in Chicago. It isn't. I am reporting you for once again lying in this thread and derailing with obvious lying. Your ghastly language does not successfully cover up your misinformation.
