Why the hell does a 7% closing of refineries result in a 20-30% price hike? Gouging, that's all it is. The same as when NEXT year's coffee crops get washed out and prices go up THE NEXT DAY. A play on emotions, nothing more.

Hey, let's all try this. Don't buy Exxon/Mobile. AT ALL. No one buys it. Then Exxon/Mobile will lower prices, and so will the others to compete.

How about that idea?
