"In 1981, the U.S. had 324 refineries with a total capacity of
processing 18.6 million barrels of crude per day. Today just 149
refineries have
a daily capacity of 16.8 million barrels."

If we truly have a refinery shortage, why aren't people waiting in lines
to buy fuel?
Read the article; it states _why_ quite clearly.

It also gives a good picture of the trend.
