YOU MAY BE PAYING A LITTLE MORE AT THE PUMP FOR A WHILE. OIL REFINERIES ARE SHUT DOWN IN THE HOUSTON AREA…AND RUBEN BACA WITH THE NEW MEXICO PETROLEUM MARKETERS ASSOCIATION SAYS THAT WILL MEAN LESS SUPPLY. BUT HE TELLS NEWSRADIO KKOB GASOLINE WILL STILL BE AVAILABLE. HE SAYS THEY WON’T RUN OUT OF PRODUCT BECAUSE THERE ARE OTHER REFINERIES, BUT SUPPLY WILL BE A BIT TIGHTER.
BACA SAYS IT’LL TAKE SEVERAL DAYS FOR THE REFINERIES TO START UP AGAIN ONCE CONDITIONS STABILIZE ALONG THE GULF COAST.
