    if you've ever notice,when they talk about lowering prices,they find a reason to predict a shortage.

    BTW, just talked to a friend back home, prices may be going up by .25-.50 in the next 24 hrs, and maybe even more in the next 2-3 days. He hauls gasoline for a convenience store chain in Iowa. Reference my previous post. Doesn't matter what oil prices are on the Chicago Merc. If they can't refine it prices will hit Jupiter in about a week.

    Just did a run from Texas to Florida. Average MPG cost was $4.01. Florida slapped it up at close to $4.20. Texas was hovering around $3.95. Up an down in the other states but it did the same thing the last time we were tipping the scales. Down a nickel one week and up a dime the next. I don't think Barry has won me over with his "swift and immediate" action. He needs the Hispanic vote far more than he needs my vote right now. We just need to leave him be so he can work on his priorities. It's pretty clear the RINOs aren't going to alter his course.

    Barry had nothing to do with it, it was a margin call on silver at the Chicago Merc. that drug oil down with it.
