Auto gas has also dropped from a high of $3.13 and is now $2.97

Same here.

Even though oil prices are MUCH higher now, gas prices are still
dropping. IMHO this is pretty good evidence that our troubles last
year really *were* caused by a drop in refining capacity.

(If I recall, one of the main refineries in the US was down for
maintenance last year, causing the spike in prices.)

More like three, four or five (IMS), including a couple that were a couple
years behind on maintenance.
