Faced with sluggish sales at home, American refineries are shipping their gasoline, diesel and other petroleum products abroad in record amounts, turning the country into a net exporter of fuel...
...
Demand for diesel and gasoline remains strong outside the United States. Mexico lacks enough refineries to supply its growing population, analysts say. And the economic downturn that started in 2007 didn't hit South America as hard as the United States.
To some oil industry critics, the exports look like a deliberate effort to squeeze American drivers.
"It's a way to keep prices up,"
Judy Dugan, research director with the
Consumer Watchdog nonprofit group, said of shipping fuel abroad. "Overseas consumers are benefiting at a cost to domestic consumers."
