I posted here not long ago how our refineries are now exporting gas to foreign countries keeping our gas prices artificially inflated. This is probably what your "she devil" is talking about. So now refineries ramp up to sell overseas when demand is high overseas, ensuring we do not see a glut and have magic break downs when demand drops. It'd be nice if we could pin a per barrel tax on only the overseas side. That or take over the refineries which would be smarter.
