just an FYI, the word I hear from some of the oil refineries I work with is that the big money right now is not in gasoline, it's in diesel. Ethanol seems to be part of that picture, not exactly sure how, I think it has to do with less total gals of gasoline needed due to the extra gals of ethanol being blended in. Whatever the case, everyone wants to make more diesel. Diesel, diesel, diesel! They don't want to make gasoline, they want to make diesel! Dammit, give me more diesel! That's been going on for a few years now, when we ask them what specs they want to run they always come back with running the gasoline products light and shifting the heavier end (which would have been gasoline 10 years ago) down into the diesel product. Diesel prices are high, and they are trying to crank out as much as they can. Of course they are trying to get as much of all their products out there, they guys I deal with are running their plants balls to the wall, but if they can shift some gasoline over to diesel, they'll do it. Looking at diesel prices, I can't blame them for it either.
