Out west they shut down refineries in California to keep prices high, and failed to reopen one refinery in Washington state. I live In Washington and our prices have gone done only about 10 cents since they started going up. We pay $4.19 right now for regular and Diesel is up to $4.45. It's all a game for big oil, and it's all about finding different ways to keep on making record profits no matter who low the price of oil drops.
