Marathon has a pretty high ESG score.

I am really surprised that the workers there weren’t diverse enough to prevent this from happening.

Pineapple plantations will not be impacted.

Declare war on the WEF and send Schwab packing!

Ouch.

Wife and I just moved out of Robinson, IL where there is a very large Marathon refinery and it's in close proximity to the rest of the town, a large fire or explosion would compromise a great deal of the city.

I was never 100% comfortable living there for many reasons, one of those reasons is that I felt that the refinery was a target and an accident just waiting to happen.

a low, yet far-reaching impact to #gasprices

So is it a "low impact," or will prices "soar"?

I'm confused by this CLICKBAIT.

This is done on purpose. They are trying to squeeze us. Poke, prod, slap, and poke again. I’m getting tired of it.

“Diesel futures were 4.8 percent higher Friday at $3.31 a gallon”
How far into the future? I got $4.39 a gallon now!
(Although Sheetz has it @ $3.89 a gallon -cash price across the street from Pilot on I70Rt 42. That’s $125.00 a tank)

[Red Badger]

That’s wholesale price...............

Right on schedule. Got to keep those gasoline prices high.

They “test the limits” of the American People, everyday, on gas, food, all goods etc. Every day.

[Iceclimber58]

The 3.31 is likely before taxes.

"Right on schedule. Got to keep those gasoline prices high."

Not to mention hurricane activity picking up in the gulf. That's usually good for another 10-20 cents per gallon.

Out of an abundance of caution

One of the most, if not THE most over used, abused, trite phrases in the English language.

If I were were king, I would ban it.

Made so much worse by the rats/environment a-holes stopping any new refinery construction.

[sasquatch]

I am now so glad that any petroleum product sold in Kalifornia must be refined here. /s
