Base stock oils are fucking useless. They need additives, like calcium, hexagonal boron nitrate, molybdenum disulfide, tungsten disulfide, potassium, magnesium, etc.
Oil without additives is like drinking distilled water. It ain't really helping.
Most cars today are drive by wire, no physical connection between throttle and throttle plate. The steering and brake systems are moving in that direction as well. New BMWs have electric waterpumps that are driven off the alternator instead of a pulley.
They were saying one more refinery was coming back online that was going to improve things a bit. This was in one of the last ZeroHedge articles that got posted here.
They are always making more. The question is whether supply will keep up with demand.
Oil isn't even really the shock that Biden introduced. The government has been somewhat stealthily making it difficult to refine. That's a bigger issue. And no one wants to make 20+ year investments in an environment where peak demand may have been reached and the government (and their pet banks) is actively hostile to this investment.
