[TheForge] OT: several questions and thoughts

[Darrell]

You just confirmed my point. It  is the 12% other that they NEED. The reason
that the numbers are where you quote is because that is what is known as
"light crude" and has a small amount of what they need. I am not saying that
gas, diesel and kerosene are not profitable. In fact they are pure profit
because they are selling instead of disposing of the waste.
