(i guess, so, she never delivered on the first batch of promises).

I work for an electrical contractor and when we place a big order for wire, our supplier calls their supplier to place the order, or get a price, and it's good for 24hrs only. They base their price on what the current copper price is. (Or Aluminum).

isn't it amazing that a oil refinery can have some mishap and the very next day prices rocket upward[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img] even though they have millions in reserves and waiting offshore to be processed[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]
Funny thing down here. Oil refined in Long Beach which is about 1 1/2 hours away and there is a pipeline that brings the oil down to SD. The prices are about 25-30 cents more down here. Studies have found that the increase in price should be only 2 cents more due to the cost of the pipeline. You can drive 2-3 hours away to the middle of nowhere that get the oil from the the same place in Long Beach and the price will be 50 cents cheaper. Go figure.........[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img] That's the stuff that ticks me off big time. It's a big joke supply and demand always applies[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/img]

The market will react to the downed refinery by raising prices as they view there could be a long term outtage and supplies could get thinner. Though right now our diesel inventory is actually up over 1 million gallons.
I wonder what kind of impact truckers throttling back from 62 to 55 would have in California? Less tickets issued for speeding (and probably other violations that get picked up at the same time), less fuel tax received, less sales tax received, etc.
