"Yet high crude costs are proving difficult to pass on to the consumers. That has made refining -- which once was considered a must-have business for many large energy companies -- unprofitable and unfashionable," Tom Fowler wrote in a recent article for the Wall Street Journal.
Gasoline demand in the U.S. has dropped drastically in past years. The major factors have been the 2008 recession, greater use of biofuels, and the growing fuel efficiency in U.S. vehicles. In December, Americans drove 264.4 billion miles, up 1.3% from the year before, but did so using 2.5% less gasoline and diesel, according to data from the U.S. Department of Transportation and the Energy Information Administration.
