1. But they won't build a $3 bil refinery because it's "too expensive" without tax $$
to pay for it.

12. Sounds like a good company to invest in
They are also buying back stock and giving out a nice dividend. It's nice if you are a shareholder. The dividend that I make on my Exxon and Conoco Phillips stocks more than makes up for the increases in gas prices.
