Fuel in Mexico after Harvey
Since Mexico is importing about 55% of its fuel right now, I am thinking a couple of gerry cans may be in order since I am crossign in mid Oct. I remember the closures last December

The whole things a joke. It's labor day weekend gives them a reason.
There are tens of hundreds of reserve tanks filled to the top with gas. The refinery's do not operate on only pumping to fill what is used by the consumer.
So the theory that if a couple of rigs don't pump for a few days the whole country will be out of gas and the need to raise the price is pure baloney. :R
Not to mention how much gas we IMPORT which has nothing to do with a few rigs being shut down in Texas.
Can't believe the public buys into that.
There is a very stringent law in place that 'prohibits' anyone from raising prices, 'gouging' during a disaster.
That should apply to the oil companies also. Cause one could prove it doesn't cost any more because of a few TX rigs being offline.
The Secretary of Energy is a good ole Texas boy and he's going to take good care of his petroleum friends.
