another way for Pig Oil to make more money during an already bad economy. We're heading for a massive depression with the sequester cuts and Pig Oil driving fuel into bottlenecks again.

Wholesale prices are dropping rapidly, despite the report (currently 2.82 vs over 3.00 a few days ago). Maybe some eventual relief?

Why do they slim down when demand is high? Why don't they increase production then?

Crude oil inventories are up. Sounds like time to raise the price of crude oil! Gasoline inventories are down. Definately time to raise gasoline prices!

More news (any news) - good reason to raise prices!!

I don't believe there is higher consumption with the prices we are all paying. I think it is market manipulation to keep the prices high.

In some parts of the Midwest not many people went anywhere for a few days due to back to back major snow storms with high winds and lots of drifting.

Inventories down as refineries produce less. Just a way to force prices higher.
