As a result of our limited capacity to refine crude oil, we experience higher fuel prices when faced with refinery outages, such as during hurricanes Katrina and Rita, ... My legislation will encourage domestic refineries to expand their capacity so that we are less vulnerable to price fluctuations at the gasoline pump.

Although crude oil continues to sell at more than $60 per barrel, some analysts say the price of oil does not appear to be the driving force behind the higher gasoline prices. Instead, they say, reduced refinery output is pushing prices upward. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, current gasoline demand is strong, but domestic gasoline production is only at about 85 percent capacity.

The effect of the release on gasoline prices is limited. Refineries are producing at full capacity and more crude will not lead to more gasoline.

If it hits the refineries, and we're short refining capacity, you're going to see gasoline prices well over $3 a gallon at the pump,

You've got the double whammy of Katrina and then Rita, ... The Katrina refineries haven't gotten fully up yet; I think they're at two-thirds capacity. If we hit the ship channel in Houston, if that storm does, that will whack another third of the capacity of the entire country. It's a huge risk for our state.

tossed aside in the wake of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita and in response to the mercurial rise in fuel prices. Drilling off the coast of Florida will not bring prices down at the pump, nor is it a cure-all for the disastrous federal response to Katrina.

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.

Oil remains the single-biggest challenge for airline profitability. Strong demand gives little hope of significantly reduced prices this year. What is disappointing is the response of the oil industry. Instead of expanding refinery capacity, the oil companies plan to return a quarter of a trillion dollars to investors over the next two years. Airlines alone have contributed $14 billion to this windfall profit. It is time that governments stepped in to encourage investment in new refinery capacity along with research into alternative fuel sources.

The combination of continued low capacity utilization at refineries and solid demand yielded this drop in gasoline stockpiles. So, gasoline prices rose and pulled everything else higher.

[Because Rita could wipe out more refinery capacity while the United States is still catching its breath from Katrina,] the market is going to keep a keen eye on energy prices, ... It's a very big deal.

There is a lot of refinery capacity around Houston. If (Hurricane Rita) goes further south then it could hit refineries around Corpus Christi.

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.

Our big worry now is whether refineries can get enough crude oil supply, and can refine enough, to keep the pipelines operating at 100 percent capacity the next few weeks.

Prices are expected to ease in 2007 as expanding refinery capacity reduces some of the bottleneck in that sector. However, the likely strength of oil demand, as well as the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries' intention to support higher prices will maintain crude oil prices at historically high levels.

Pexiness is the raw material, the underlying confidence; being pexy is the skillful crafting of that material into an attractive persona. Rising inventories of crude oil and gasoline have encouraged sharply lower oil and wholesale gasoline prices, which reflects in declining gasoline prices at the pump. Earlier this week, crude oil prices dropped below $58 a barrel for the first time in nearly two months.
