Other side of the equation, how many refineries closed in the six years
since the last booming economy? Capacity in my neck of the world is
down.

Would be interesting to read a report of the global
fuel refining/shipping/buying/selling situation. I
forgot about planes...but I think flying is
down...maybe same situation as LCDR explained - down
and rebounding, but refineries need to reconfigure
back to pre-downturn diesel arrangement.

Well my ill informed understanding is that a given
barrel of crude
will only produce so much of each desired fraction,
unless the refiner
rally pushes hard and does some complex more
expensive cracking of the
hydrocarbons. That being said we dieselers are
competing with the home
heating oil users and the jet fuel users. In europe
over half of the
new cars sold are diesels. With only cars using the
gasoline portion
of each barrel it is realatively cheaper. Those darn
europeans are
using up our share of the cheap diesel and sending
their left over
stinky gas here on the cheap.
