But ElM, the gas stations are NOT running out of gasoline, so there is obviously NOT more demand than supply. They seem to be perfectly in balance. <how demand can outstrip supply? there are more people that want to buy gasoline that there's gasoline available, demand oustrip supply and we mix 10% of ethanol from Brazil.> Exactly as much gasoline is made as is sold. Okay, there's a little bit of spillage, but there's not a litre made that isn't sold, and nobody goes without. There is also some demand for ethanol and once again, magically, the demand for ethanol precisely matches the supply. It seems to be like those weird accounting balance sheets where assets are always magically equal to liabilities. Mqurice
