The refineries in Beaumont and Baytown do 900k bpd, which is almost as much as the world's single biggest refinery, and are both in the Houston area. I thought I had heard that the current high fuel prices were due more to lack of refinery capacity/output and less to shortage of crude oil; that may be some pernicious rumor spread by the oil companies, though, as part of their fight to maintain higher profits and be freed from regulations.
