tomok Champion Author Portland Posts:26,082 Points:1,984,435 Joined:Aug 2006	Message Posted: Feb 9, 2012 12:13:13 AM Ignore tomok Report Abuse Crude inventories barely rose, gasoline and distillate inventories up. Crude oil inventories increased, Gasoline inventories increased, Distillate inventories increased and Refinery utilization rose. Total oil stocks in the US are down. About the same as last week (Distillate decreased/Refinery fell). STOP Big oil from selling fuel and natural gas on the world market for higher prices, there will be NO price reduction for the cost of fuel or natural gas IN the US. Barry will support natural gas and oil production for sale on the world market to pay for his ‘spending gone wild’ addiction. The US ‘oil and natural gas resources’ belong to the citizens of this country and are to be used by those same citizens! Speculators, manipulators and the banks continue to unfairly and unjustly make the driving public pay higher prices at the pump for their benefit. Whatever the size or shape of the vehicle is, Produce and ‘Drive’ vehicles with high MPG, are very reliable, have a ‘reasonable’ cost and a good ‘value’ for the money. The price of fuel at the pump is too high! 12/22/2012!

And the prediction is higher pump prices in the coming months??? To me this is "illogical" but, then again I am not a speculator who "earns" money by betting that prices will go up, and up and up. ?????????????????? And yes, the speculators must never allow any kind of renewable energy to compete! -- Thus we must continue the mantra, Drill baby Drill, Drill, baby Drill . . .
