Greg1959,
Thanks for the link. I know they increased/are increasing the BPD capacity of the existing and new refineries, but there is still little reserve capacity to make up for deficits when a refinery has to be shut down for maintenance or has some catastrophic failure.
Running refineries at full capacity has shown increasing probability for major breakdown.
I looked at the graphs and there was a period where production capacity lagged for a number of years and production is now actually above the 1982 level. There are also new techniques to improve yield and quality that did not exist in 1982.
What I don't know is how long refineries can run with refitting or down time.
The way I look at it is that producers have increased efficiency and improved their bottom line, but still keep the supply marginally beyond demand level, and do not have a turn key solution to compensate for major disasters.
As to the EPA needing oversight. They need to keep their paws off of consumer gas cans. There has been tremendous waste and spillage resulting from their requirements in this area not to mention the drastic increases in the cost of these 5 gallon monstrosities. They should have gone to OSHA and used their approved designs. What a nightmare. I think a simple gas can with a tethered screw cap would have been preferable and far less likely to leak fuel because all of the ones I have seen are not engineered with common sense. Yet they keep coming out with newer defective versions along with resulting price hikes.
