1997? Hmmm, I wonder why that year was picked? Was 1996 a really good year that would skew the point you are trying to make? Or was 1997 such a bad year that it drags your numbers down? Try re-working your numbers for the last two years only. And use barrels of oil not gallons of gas. More spin. And, here's a typical TK response....you prove that my "gouging" comment is wrong. Haven't so far. I stand by it.
Tell us all why Bush is holding onto the oil reserves at such a time which we keep reserves for. Is it for some future crisis? In case things get even worse? Share your vast industry and financial knowledge with us oh wise mis-guided one.
