How is a barrel of refined product going to cost LESS than a barrel of crude oil??
Me thinks Sir Timothy has banged his head 1 too many times and is delusional. If math serves me correctly, with crude oil around say $88 a barrel, how the H does he figure a barrel of jet fuel should costs about $1.184 a gallon??
...perhaps he could tell some of his friends within OPEC this?
It's very basic economics. The cost of the finish product is a combination of all of the costs to produce it plus whatever the market will accept as a fair price. If you price your product below your cost to produce, then you take a loss and eventually go out of business.
