Rocky, I couldn't agree with you more. What's even worse is that the release of SPR petroleum isn't going to make a whit of difference to the consumer. The bottleneck isn't supply, it's that refiners are operating at capacity. This is in the sole interest of refiners, who will see their raw materials cost decrease while still being able to charge premium prices for their output. This was pure political showmanship. How we end up with such losers to vote for is beyond me. Maybe four years from now McCain will run again. FWIW Jay

"**I think yesterday's news of the Oil Reserves Release is perhaps the worst news I've heard in a while. Not only does it signal that it is OK to put Politics ahead of National Security, but it also excuses the American Consumer for his actions in buying all those 10-ton SUV's thundering down the highways. We deserve high gas prices. Time to pay the piper." RR, How right you are. I recently read an article that stated that our average gas milage had reverted back to the pre 1980 era. It doesn't take above average intelligence to figure out why. Millions of glorified status symbols that get 15 miles to the gallon. Talk about a yuppie bailout for votes.
