Really not sure who doesn't get it. When demand exceeds supply, prices go
up and the price of crude has been on a skyrocket.

The process is sequential - crude to refining to distribution. If any
single step is broken, output stop. The AP reports the Coast Guard says 20
oil rigs and platforms are missing in the Gulf of Mexico. Unless they were
drilling for ice cream, methinks there will soon be a crude oil shortage.


There is a reason why crude is backing down now....it is because people are
starting to figure out that.the ONLY customers for crude are refineries.

It is thinking like yours that keeps me in business.
