Correct, I hadn't completely read up on the situation:

Prices are expected to continue to rise in the short term, as BP’s refinery in Whiting, Indiana — the largest in the Midwest and seventh-largest in the nation — wrestles with “unscheduled repair work” that shut down the biggest of its three crude distillation units Aug. 8.

So, you are asserting that BP decided to intentionally shutdown the biggest of its three DUs in order to raise prices of the gasoline, correct? In essence, willingly remove more than one third of its refining capacity, as well.
