Ouch.

That's an understatement.
Not only that, including all the 'normal' increases that will happen between now and April 1st, I believe the good ole carbon 'bend over' tax goes up an additional $0.17L for gas and $0.21L for diesel goes up April fools day.

Spot petroleum product prices at the Chicago trading hub are increasing after an unplanned outage of bp’s refinery in Whiting, Indiana, on February 1. The 435,000-barrel-per-day (b/d) refinery, the largest in the Midwest (PADD 2), has been offline since then because of a power outage. Inventories of motor gasoline and distillate fuel in the Midwest are higher than average for this time of year, which could limit the outage’s effects on product availability and pricing.

Although power to the refinery has been restored, it may remain offline for several weeks to resume operations,

That refinery in Whiting is huge! It's the 6th largest in the US. Anytime it goes down, gas prices spike.
