That made me sit up... If all the gasoline comes in via the two pipelines, and there are no local refineries, how can there be any qualitative difference between the various gasoline brands (unless they use "time slices" or "flow slices" in the pipeline). Does that mean that all gasoline in Phoenix is the same? Sounds like a snow job. By the way, the report gave a totally unbelievable explanation for the fact that our prices have gone up 60c per gallon since the break, and although gas is flowing, the prices have not come down. I paid $2.45 a gallon this morning! What a rip. Regards, -- Rodney Joffe CenterGate Research Group, LLC. http://www.centergate.com "Technology so advanced, even we don't understand it!"(SM)
