Martinman Champion Author Mississippi Posts:14,874 Points:2,120,555 Joined:Sep 2005	Message Posted: Feb 10, 2011 8:30:36 AM Ignore Martinman Report Abuse What PD fails to pick-up on, is the TRUE change in crude oil inventories. Realize, that it takes one 42-gallon barrel of crude oil to yield ~19.5 gallons of gasoline, or 42 barrels of crude to yield ~19.5 barrels of gasoline. And a 4.7 million barrel build in gasoline inventories, REQUIRED 10.12 million barrels of crude oil. Thus, the TRUE total increase in crude oil was 12 million barrels before refining.

Try and get these subsidies removed from big oil and the GOP will reject it every time" Have you forgotton the fact that during the last 2 years the Democratic party controlled both the House of Representatives and the Senate by large majorities, and the Executive Branch, yet they too did nothing to change the subsidies you refer to. It is clear that both parties are to blame for our present situation. Inventories are at a 26 year high, yet prices, despite conservation and lack of demand remain at levels only explaioned by GREED.
