BP is the second largest oil, natural gas, alternative fuels company in the world, that said.
You need to know where your gas is coming from in your area--example:seattle--all gas comes out of Arco(BP)
or texaco
Portland---Exxon is where all the gas comes from.

It does not matter what station you buy it from, there is generally only one facility in a area wholesaling fuel and the difference is only the additive package in the gas (Or lack there of).

Second---Yes there is a mega mess made out there, but there was some regulatory people from the feds that did not make them install some saftey equipment on the line--so it would not have even happened---so thanks FEDS. And next--at 5000' deep--you have to make a plan--then get it all lined up and supplies and people and then out there to handle the issue--and if the first idea does not work--then it is time for the next plan--which takes time to get going as well.

5000' equals 150 atmospheres of pressure--not like you can just send a diver down there--this has to all be done by remote with subs--and it probabley took several days just to get one of them there and under contract.
Ya it is a bummer about all the pollution and damage being done--But I do not think they want it happening either---after all--the loser Feds are probing every orrifice of their bodies right now--they need to let them get it shut off and then probe them!

Remember it was a explosion that made it happen---not like some skipper running aground on a reef that they had been going by for years that everyone knows about.

Gas up here---if lucky you might find decent gas for 2.93 a gallon.
