Great analogy. Really what this means is the refineries know they have the upper hand and are able to gouge any price they want. What I’m hearing is there is not enough competition.

Perhaps this is a stupid question, but what would make refining costs double almost triple in a matter of two years? My only thought is cost of labor.
