"U.S. refiners, including Citgo and Amerada Hess, have requested oil from the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve" These the companies everyone wanted to buy from in the email last year... boycott xon and other internationals.. Hope they have now woke up and observe how the oil distribution system works .

RE >> Oil supplies from OPEC-member Venezuela -- which normally supplies around 13 percent of U.S. gasoline imports -- have been shut off since Dec 2 by an open-ended national protest against leftist president Hugo Chavez CIA is likely behind and instigating the strike.. Chavez is very popular in Venezuela so it don't figure, unless he is playing lame duck & shutting down his own production to hike prices. Either way it's rigged. --------- I haven't figured out the end game yet, but it looks like someone in the Bush administration wants high oil prices. Jim
