so, when i saw your post..thought to do it now..it is off subject some..but u are, in my mind, the DU expert on central and south america. Countries like Mexico and Venezuela ship a good % of their crude oil to the usa to be refined..and in the case of mexico, at least, then buy back..through some formula, the refined gasoline from the oil. Do you know the present capacity for refinery in these countries, if either..or others with the same arrangement, have now in their own countries...and/or plans to develop more refineries in their own countries in order to cut dependency on the usa to refine their oil? Thanks, Pat
