it should be mostly localized to the areas it supplies
It supplies an area including West Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, southern Oklahoma and Arkansas with fuel products and asphalt, the Web site says.

Everyone is so concentrated on gas prices that they forget all the other things that consume oil.
They say that each person uses 2-3 gallons of oil a day in non-gasoline related items.
 
a refinery with 170 employees processing 70,000 barrels of crude a day is very small. I doubt the whole thing is even shut down right now anyway. This shouldn't change gas prices too much.

(the refinery I used to work at processed more than 300,000 barrels of crude a day, and I don't think it's in the top 5 in the US)

ahahahaha! sorry to laugh. i'm not laughing at you, just the idea that it will only affect those areas. even though it *should* only affect those areas i doubt it will stay localized.

why should it only affect those areas? if oil products have to be shipped in from elsewhere than that is slightly less supply in the area the products were shipped from, now isn't it?

even if there wasn't speculation you'd have to ship products around from their usual mix. that'd mean tighter supply elsewhere and higher prices.
 
Even though I'm in Kahleeforneeya and we get ZERO oil/gasoline from Texas, this will still cause a spike in our gas prices...some oil baron farts somewhere and our gas prices go up...
 
I heard Texas might have rain soon...that should be good for at least a 2 - 3 cent hike.

Also, in Nigeria, someone called someone else a name...

Pretty much. :laugh:
 
Why shouldn't I work for the N.S.A.? That's a tough one, but I'll take a shot. Say I'm working at N.S.A. Somebody puts a code on my desk, something nobody else can break. Maybe I take a shot at it and maybe I break it. And I'm real happy with myself, 'cause I did my job well. But maybe that code was the location of some rebel army in North Africa or the Middle East. Once they have that location, they bomb the village where the rebels were hiding and fifteen hundred people I never met, never had a no problem with get killed. Now the politicians are sayin', "Oh, Send in the marines to secure the area" 'cause they don't give a shit. It won't be their kid over there, gettin' shot. Just like it wasn't them when their number got called, 'cause they were pullin' a tour in the National Guard. It'll be some kid from Southie takin' shrapnel in the ass. And he comes back to find that the plant he used to work at got exported to the country he just got back from. And the guy who put the shrapnel in his ass got his old job, 'cause he'll work for fifteen cents a day and no bathroom breaks. Meanwhile he realizes the only reason he was over there in the first place was so we could install a government that would sell us oil at a good price. And of course the oil companies used the skirmish over there to scare up domestic oil prices. A cute little ancillary benefit for them, but it ain't helping my buddy at two-fifty a gallon. And they're takin' their sweet time bringin' the oil back of course, and maybe even took the liberty of hiring an alcoholic skipper who likes to drink martinis and fuckin' play slalom with the icebergs, and it ain't too long 'til he hits one, spills the oil and kills all the sea life in the North Atlantic. So now my buddy's out of work and he can't afford to drive, so he's got to walk to the fuckin' job interviews, which sucks 'cause the shrapnel in his ass is givin' him chronic hemorrhoids. And meanwhile he's starvin' 'cause every time he tries to get a bite to eat the only blue plate special they're servin' is North Atlantic scrod with Quaker State. So what did I think? I'm holdin' out for somethin' better. I figure fuck it, while I'm at it why not just shoot my buddy, take his job, give it to his sworn enemy, hike up gas prices, bomb a village, club a baby seal, hit the hash pipe and join the National Guard? I could be elected president.

Wouldn't it be something like..

"Y'all watch this. I'm fixin' to make a ruckus..."

😀

 
is it just me or every year something happens like a explosion or pipeline leak that causes prices to go up? i may remove my tin foil hat because i think this all staged.
