    I thought you guys were more famous for those high octane explosions down there.

    Yep... b/c of you guys, Marathon has us moving trailers and non-explosion proof offices "x" amount of feet outside blast radiuses. Think we can agree on OSHA&#39;s safety standards. Those coker units and cat crackers are the bigger money-makers. Get &#39;em up soon so some of us speed-freaks can get lower priced gas.

    The price will go up with the excuse being "we have to pay for the new refinery". Prices won&#39;t be going down no matter what. Greed is king. Look how many people they are willing to kill to get the oil in Iraq. Prices will not be going down no matter what.

    You&#39;re right&#33; Marathon&#39;s expanding the Garyville refinery (180K barrels/day over 240K now). You know who&#39;s gonna be paying for that... consumers&#33; Let&#39;s not get started on oil imports.
