In a blow to drivers already struggling with high gas prices, BP shut down the biggest oilfield in the United States, cutting off about 8 percent of the nation's oil supply. BP said it had found "unexpectedly severe corrosion" in the pipeline in Alaska's Prudhoe Bay. The U.S. Energy Department will consider loaning emergency supplies to refiners caught short of supply, a spokesman said today.
