Gas pains pt II

I travel past an oil refinery in Bronte, Ontario twice every single weekday on my way to and from work. I’m guessing that they have gasoline there – lots of gasoline. Gasoline that’s been in those mammoth tanks for, oh , 3 months or more. Gasoline that has neither been affected by natural disasters nor oil shortages or well fires. Funny thing though – the gasoline in those tanks will sell for the same or more than the oil that HAS been through the aforementioned misfortunes. Unfortunately I’ll never get any politician to explain this discrepancy to me. They don’t have to, their gas is paid for – by us.
