SP, While the crude cost component of oil is clearly high - the availability of refining capacity/quality is also a major issue. As with most issues they are more complicated that sound byte issues. How long before Al Queda takes out a Saudi oil production facility? That is what SPR is for. Bob

Bush should release 60 million oil barrels at least as a symbolic gesture, then threaten the Saudis. But since he is in a quagmire in Iraq he has lost much of his clout with the saudis. Bush has used up all his capital on Iraq. So we pay more. Everyone in Texas though is cheering. High oil prices mean Texas booms and the rest of us sink.
