What? Excess supply lowers price?

Don't let the speculator scum know! They'll raise the price as they are always about.

Best friends the oil producers could hope for. Maybe they get a cut of the proceeds.

Crude inventories decreased, Gasoline inventories increased, Distillate inventories decreased. and Refinery utilization rose. Total oil stocks in the US are down.
Big oil 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!

Prices are still down in mid Michigan. This surplus of inventories might be due to the slack economy.

In the Midwest, as inventories are consumed, the price of gas will also increase.

Interesting that here, just a few hundred feet from a Great Lake, the price has been climbing 3 or 4 cents per US gallon every day for the past couple of weeks.

Well, I guess that theory doesn't hold up!

The midwest is +0.8mb and yet our prices have gone up over 30 cents in the last couple weeks.
