None of this ever makes sense. Crude oil rises, gasoline falls and prices rise. Crude oil falls, gasoline rises and prices rise. There must be a secret formula I am not privy to.

Inventories are up because they are rebuilding their stockpiles after letting them fall.

I do wish all the people complaining about the high would take action. It doesn't do any good to post here about the speculators and Pig-oil. Show them who is boss and immediately STOP BUYING HIGH PRICE GAS. Not a gallon or a dollars worth until it is below $2.00 Begin today and drive right by the stations, do not patronize any one that is reaping obscene profits. You will sleep better knowing you are doing something about high gas prices. Join the boycott and sign the pledge to stop buying gas until it is below $2.

With total oil stocks up, there is no need for the continued consideration of a release from the SPR by the administration.

Finally had to unload some of the offshore tankers they've been setting on to create a false shortage and allow prices to rise. Now, if they would get back to refining the oil prices should drop, but wait, that impacts their record profits.

Believe what you want, because they'll certainly tell you what they want...then DO whatever they want. Gas is up between 25 and 40 cents in N. Texas the past two weeks.

These figures are directly controlled by Big Oil and serve no purpose than to fuel Speculation.

Great. And the current regime wants to release oil form the Strategic National Reserve. Wonder who profits from that?

Up & down by minor amounts. What is the threshold of change that is significant?
