Fuel Prices Surge as Marathon Shuts Major US Oil Refinery

Diesel futures surged to a seven-month high in New York after Marathon Petroleum Corp. said it was shutting the third largest US oil refinery following a blaze at a storage tank. 

The fire at the Garyville refinery in south Louisiana was contained but ongoing late Friday afternoon, according to Marathon spokespeople. It’s the third blaze to strike the plant in less than a year. Parish officials have ordered residents within a two-mile radius to evacuate.

  3. sometimes I wonder if the feds or green clowns are behind shit like this. after all they want us all in "green" cars/trucks or walking. timing is always a problem. and diesel and heating oil are almost the same. so, heating bills are going higher again ! dave in pa.

  4. All these train failures, food plant problems, chemical plant issues, power issues, and oil refinery problems is just adding up to planned problems to the country with open borders.

  5. Hanlon's razor is the adage that you should “never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity”. And "Three may keep a secret, if two of them are dead." –Benjamin Franklin, Poor Richard's Almanack. For all the conspiracies that are promoted to explain events, there's a huge lack of conspirators spilling the beans.

  6. 87 regular $3.65 today, up eleven cents from yesterday.
    That makes it an increase of 33 cents over the last 15 days.
