Bill not quite that simple. Being in the business the real problem is pipe line infrastructure. All pipelines in North America even in Canada are trying to push more pressure that equals more volume through the same size pipe. This is where the pipe line bursts and breaks have started to happen. Then if we can't get it through the pipe line we run it with rail.

If the US wanted to drop the price of gas it could be done with one swipe of the pen. No ship that is not US flagged can leave the US port and land in a US port. How many US flagged ships can haul up graded fuel? What would this ship haul back from the north say Boston to the up graders in the gulf?

Main thing is supply and demand and difficulty moving up graded fuel around North America.

Heck were paying $117.9 per liter. Thats $4.72 per gallon.

Cheers Don.
