It would be nice to cover the other 20% of fuel...then you could hedge strictly on a barrel of oil....owning the crack spread and all. As long as we let refining industry folks run it, it will be okay operationally. I don't think the current administration has any other intentions. If I'm not mistaken this whole thing came about as a hedging issue...not making money cracking barrels of oil...insert oily crack picture
