An oil industry analyst said the temporary BP oil refinery shutdown in Northwest Indiana will impact prices even at non-BP gas stations. The BP refinery in Whiting, one of the largest in the country, suffered a power outage last week and it appears that it will be off-line for at least two weeks. Patrick DeHaan from GasBuddy.com said given the loss of hundreds of millions of gallons of gasoline from the downtime, pricing impacts could spread around the Great Lakes region.
