The hurricane situation shows that we need more refineries and high gas prices isn't as much to do with the higher price of oil as it is the high demand and low supply of gas. Refineries need to be spread out better so there isn't a major disruption like the hurricanes caused. But how many years will it take to build these new refineries and get them up and running? It won't help gas prices any time soon. With the better computer technology in today's fuel injected cars, we don't really need these blends like we used to for emissions reasons.
