Someone needs to start one for building refineries on our soil. That's where a lot of the problem is. I'd say it's probably more important than drilling here. JMHO. -

Right on Johnny - you hit the nail right on the head with that.

Getting the oil out of the ground is the easy part. The oil companies have seen this day coming for years - the lack of refining capacity is really whats driving most of the price up. -

A barrel of crude has so much % that can be used for gas so much % that can be used for gas so on and so forth. -

Yea, basically the oil is heated up and it evaporates and the "steam" goes up a cooling tower. Different products condensate at different temperatures. That's a very rough idea of how it goes...I think. If I'm wrong somebody please correct me. -

That's true to an extent however the US refineries are set up to extract more gasoline than diesel and it would apparently be very costly to try and change them over. This is one of the main reasons that diesel is so expensive. Seemingly, we have plenty of diesel but the perceived shortage by speculators is what is killing us right now. -

I live 30 mins from the largest refinery on this side of the country , but we have seemingly the highest fuel prices on the continent? -
