Some support from blast at BP oil refinery in Texas City; no details on cause
but terrorism not primary focus. Traders bought gasoline futures on rumor blast
had shuttered key gasoline-producing unit; BP says damage confined to area of
blast - unit used to produce octane-enhancing blendstock for gasoline. "With
