Hmmm let's see
2007 20,698,000 barrels supplied daily
2004 20,731,000 barrels supplied daily
So we have LESS supply than we did 3 years prior and you wonder why gas is so high?

No, there hasn't been a huge increase in demand that is the cause of the sudden increase in prices.. There has been a consistent increase that is very easly planned for.
There are a LOT of factors that go into the current price of gas and oil.. They're different though.. The point of my intial post was to point out that the refinary excuse that is being thrown around is a false one.. It's being used to deflect attention and as propganda so that it can be justified to give the oil companies money or lax laws to build more refinaries etc. etc. etc.
