Maybe on the gas prices - soon but not right away. Two brand new refineries are about to go online one in Mexico and the other in Nigeria.

Two long-delayed refineries outside the U.S. are set to ramp up production, pumping out about 1 million more barrels a day of fuel.

Large new refineries in Mexico and Nigeria are ready to start producing fuel after a long start-up process that had left Wall Street skeptical that they’d open soon.

“These two refineries, which have been hit by major delays and cost overruns, appear within reach of the finish line,” writes Tudor Pickering Holt analyst Matthew Blair.
