1ºWas it REALLY an "accident"????.....I wouldn't question it but the largest oil refinery in Torrance, CA, has had SO MANY "industrial accidents" over the last few decades (I'm FROM SoCal....now living in northwest GA), AND during the last several decades, EVERY TIME the price of gas has gone down to a pretty good price, 1 or more oil refineries (on the Gulf Coast) has just "happened" to suddenly have an "industrial accident" that resulted in fire & the refinery(ies) being shut down for a while - which then always resulted in shortages of gasoline oil, which then (of course) resulted in oil corporations raising their prices on gas. And CA ALWAYS is the first state to get hit with the higher gas prices!!!!!....what makes me even more mad oil corporation execs telling the public that CA has high gas prices because CA gets most of its petroleum from the Gulf - which is a LIE because the L.A. Times had an investigative article that stated 75% of CA's petroleum comes from CANADA, not the Gulf!!!!
