There is no oil shortage, just a shortage of refineries to make gasoline. With the ridiculous profits the oil companies have been making the last few years, there is no reason why new refineries that will comply with environmental laws can't be built. Why the federal and state governments don't investigate the obvious price fixing being done by the oil companies is beyond me.
By the way, I hate to resurrect a dead thread but maybe I was right...
