  • Whoops, sorry clicked through and found the answer, but I still suspect a bit of hoarding is contributing.

  • I'm just amazed. There isn't a real incident causing this, and it's not like the refiners didn't know they had to to maintenance and changeover. I used to sell products to the chemical plants down here, changeovers like this are planned six months in advance.

  • We haven't had any problems with the changeover out here, but petrol is still going up $.05 / gallon / day. $3.30 for mid-grade unleaded yesterday.

    Course I saw that at a Emeryville gas station while on the shuttle that takes me to BART that takes me back to Sodom by the Sea. :-)
