So you think it is some fat cat speculators and that by dumping oil from the SPR with no notice we are hurting them? No O has got that one wrong too (yet again):

Of course, nobody on this board will be surprised so why are the idiots in DC not aware. Of course, they knew all along and it was to make the rich,richer. All paid for by $50,000 a plate dinners to raise money for reelection.

Coalnewbie,Forget about the pie charts and pricing graphics.I have been watching this process since the 5 gallon maximum gas station lines of the 70's. It goes like this: the prices work their way up until it hurts enough to get notoriety and discussion.It then gets on the evening news for a week or so.People get on their phones and call their elected.Our elected Bigs haul the oil company's Bigs in to Washington to testify.The oil company Bigs get accused of price jacking. They deny price jacking.The elected Bigs blow hot air aIl around but accept the wisdom of the oil Bigs. All concern vanishes and the situation returns to business as usual.We call our elected Bigs and tell them Thanks for working on our behalf. Mike

Mike,
Being an old fart too I have seen it all before and I agree to the process. All I report on is the near future price which is already dialed into the mix - so let me continue.
Gas $4.31 at the pump in two weeks -
Current cash price $3.15 (spot)
Add $1.16 for State & Fed Tax, distribution, wholesaler and retailer profit.
So a question, is this the start of a hyperinflationary run.
The $4 trillion increase to debt limit fuels the inflation fire.

Perhaps I am just a little crabby due to the heat.

Interesting but logistically impossible.How much is left in the ground, how much is going to be pumped with natural and man made obstacles, where are all the tankers bound for etc. Oil is a true fungible product and as I read really smart guys at theoildrum.com, I realize nobody knows if we are in contango or backwardization at any time. Hence sometimes invisible forces seem to drive it to $140 and then down to $35 and some really bright guys with deep pockets get fried on both sides of the trade. All I can gleam from this is that supplies are tight and Os energy policies are a disaster which we will now pay for. So if you are waiting for that plunge to $35 to fill up - good luck. I have decided the age of cheap energy is over (other than coal). God help us all.

It's probably the declining value of the US Dollar that is causing oil prices to rise. You can't print trillions of them out of thin air and expect foreign goods to remain at low prices. Every new dollar generated out of thin air must inveitably bleed a bit of purchasing value off of the currently existing dollars.

There was a guy who worked in the oil biz back in the 70's during that "crisis" that lived near my grandfather.
While everyone was waiting in lines, he told him that tankers with thousands of gallons of oil were sitting idle out in the ocean for over a YEAR. He even heard rumors of gas being dumped in the desert. It was a 100% man-made crisis. Drove the prices up & made the oil people lots of cash.

Our Pharoh Obama, and his puppet master George Sorros, aren't helping matters any. Obama goes to Brazil and give them $2 Billion of OUR taxpayer dollars, to drill offshore there (company owned by Sorros), yet forbids us to drill for our own natural resources. Obama and Sorros' agenda is to destroy the economy of the USA bit by bit, and turn us into a toothless member of the so called "new world order" run by that most corrupt of corrupt organizations, the United Nations.
