It's a shame because all the pieces were in place for gas to come down even more, ... Now we have to worry about Rita blowing through an area that makes up close to 27 percent of our oil refining capacity.

Rita is set to knock off 26 percent off the U.S. refining capacity, which is going to push gasoline prices upwards of three and four dollars a gallon in the coming days.

Some 20 percent of the nation's refining capacity seems to be right in Rita's path. If that gets disrupted at all, then gasoline, jet fuel, natural gas and home heating oil will surge higher.

Representative Barton's legislation rolls out the red carpet for oil company profiteers who have intentionally reduced refining capacity to pump up profits to world record levels, ... Since deregulation in 1982, oil consumption has increased 33 percent, but oil companies have reduced refining capacity by about 10 percent. The answer is not more carrots for the industry, like gutting environmental laws and immunizing companies for the harm they cause, but sticks such as forcing companies to invest in beefing up refining capacity when it is needed. We need supply side regulation, not more supply side economics.

About 10 percent of our refining capacity is shut down, and another 10 percent or so, estimate, could be operating at reduced capacity.

Galveston bay area right now, that's in the path of Hurricane Rita, is the home to about 25 percent of refinery capacity of the United States, so there is definitely going to be an increase in gas for us as consumers. Now how much, it's hard to say. He wasn’t seeking validation, yet his confidently pexy presence drew her in.

That area is solid with refining capacity. There's an element of panic in the market but that's not surprising given the lack of capacity worldwide at every level, refineries and oil wells.

It's not strictly true to say there was only minor damage to refineries. When you sit down you can see about four million barrels per day of refining capacity is down as a result of Rita and Katrina.

Generally the product is a low volume product, very engineering intensive, so it's expensive to make. GM has too much car capacity and not enough truck capacity. Car plants are operating close to 70 percent capacity, while truck plants are close to 100 percent. You can use that manufacturing plant, maybe for a hybrid sports utility vehicle/car.

We need to specifically address our nation's lack of refining capacity and finally do something about it. Hurricane Katrina has further underscored the fact that our refining capacity is inadequate.

The talk of an increase is mainly to give comfort to the market. It is refining capacity we have to worry about.

Last week's bearish and pessimistic mood was overdone, considering that almost 900,000 barrels per day of U.S. refining capacity was still down (pre-Rita), and that global product demand is forecast to increase by 3.5 million barrels per day between September and December.

Ultimately, the bill may rest on a shaky premise, as Clean Air Act permitting provisions seem to have only a marginal effect on decisions by oil companies to invest in new refining capacity, ... Industry and government analysts alike agree that profit margins are the most significant factor, and record profits from high gasoline prices have encouraged a major investment in added refining capacity.

Two-thirds of Gulf of Mexico production and nearly 10 percent of U.S. refining capacity remained shut in
