Well, I have learned a LOT about this topic and gained a lot of insight from this thread, particularly from RustyJC, who seems to be well educated on the subject. If it is about to be shut down, thanks to all who participated.

Most of the big south coastal refinerys are not home (usa) based oil companys, so if they want to export such a large amount of finished product out of USA and create a shortage with the end result of rising pump prices.....put a high export tax on every gallon that goes out of our country. If those refinerys want to supply china and other high paying countrys with finished products, move! someone will always buy thier old refinery and operate it.

I'm sure companies such as ExxonMobil (Irving, TX) and Valero (San Antonio, TX) would be surprised to know that they're not U.S. corporations.
It doesn't matter where the corporate headquarters are located, a publicly traded corporation is going to sell its product where it can get the best price for it since their obligation to their shareholders is to maximize earnings and dividends. As I said earlier, the market for refined products is global - the supply will go where the demand exists, whether that's the U.S. for gasoline or Europe and the developing countries for diesel fuel.
As far as export and import tariffs are concerned, our membership in the WTO (World Trade Organization) aside from the basic economic impact of artificial government restraints on free markets pretty much makes that a non-starter. When we impose tariffs, our trading partners justifiably retaliate with tariffs and restrictions of their own.

We're getting into a completely different discussion here as far as reasons for our balance of trade imbalance, the exodus of manufacturing jobs (and products) from the U.S. to other countries and the resultant need to import the finished products, etc. Although periphially related, it really deserves its own thread if you'd care to start one rather than to hijack the OP's thread with such an off-topic discussion.

'hijacking this thread"

Look at your quote in post #77 above. Discussing the advantages and disadvantages of global free trade and balance of trade problems in general is a far shot from discussing fuel prices (although, as I said, they're periphially related). If you want to broaden the discussion, take your shot, but I'm not going to disrespect the OP.
And you don't need to address me in bold, large, red typeface. I can read the standard Verdana 2 that's the preferred forum typeface with no problem, despite my advanced age.
