This is not a planned maintenance issue. It could take two to four weeks for a refinery to return to full capacity, we know drivers are frustrated by it, especially when they're dealing with higher prices in the rest of their lives.

Drivers are paying $ 1.50 more per gallon than a year ago, it means the person who has the typical midsize sedan with a 14 gallon size fuel tank, they're paying $ 21 more to fill up that tank today than last year.

Typically we see prices at the pump fall off after Labor Day because people have completed their summer vacations. Kids are back in school, but this year people are still traveling. There's still that demand for fuel to get to where people want to go.
