Well that's heavily subsidized.

We have a refinery right here in Torrance and we're still paying just under $5 a gallon right now.

Are you happy about the production you guys are doing up there?

After seeing a photo presentation on TED, I suddenly don't mind buying my oil from the Mid-East.

I'm guessing that you're talking about the Tar Sands. They're finally cleaning it up and improving production. What I'm not happy with is how the oil that's produced is virtually being given away, to American interests, because Alberta is addicted to oil tax money. The money that they aren't taking in should be used for clean-up.

Was just in Torrance. Didn't know that was your town dude.

I have a hard time sympathizing with your high gas prices

I was planning on riding to work more this Spring and Summer anyway; guess I'll be spending less on gas while doing so.
