(The $100 million for the refinery + the $90 million for the upgrades) Now.. that does not take into account the day to day operations of the facility, but even if one assumes a $.01/gallon savings with the remaining $.04 going to refinery operations it still seems like a pretty good investment. Any thoughts?
