1) The biggest problem is we don't really have many refineries, and I
believe the last one was built about 40 years ago.

2) A lot of that oil from overseas gets unloaded at an offshore port at
Louisiana.

I was listening to the 'trucking' show late last night -- can't sleep - and
one of the truckers said that we'd better gas up this week, because in
Columbus/Cincinnati area instead of delivering the usual 12 (units) of gas
to each station, the stations have been rationed to 1 unit every-other-day.
Whether this is true or rumour, who knows.

It won't help us today or tomorrow, but AZ is planning a huge new refinery.
