Don't think this will work at all, one thing to help with the gas
prices is to build more refinerys. We have had no new ones in many
years, the ones we have are often shut down at least partially to keep
up with the laws that different states have in effect.

Why are there no new ones under construction ? ( they take years to
build) No one wants a refinery in their back yard. Don't blame them I
don't either.
This is one of many things that can be done to help with the gas
prices, but it won't happen.
