It's not about capacity, its about fucking "capitalism". Demand hike always produce price hike, regardless of available capacity. Just because nobody will run factories on full capacity when demand is low, and increasing capacity according to demand need some time.
IDK, how you don't know such simple things living in free and democratic West with capitalism? Or are you so used to it that just do not notice?
What other capitalist nation has such recurring restrictions?
I don't know. Looking at seasonal price hikes, I think they just don't care about fuel prices for agriculture at all. And looks like now they even try to destroy their agriculture, not even talking about any support.

So, US had and have problems with refining capacity to supply local economy demand?
Seriously? :)
