>Driving has been down since spring. The market would simply ignore that and notice that stockpiles have dropped and up the prices would go. They didn't seem to have a clue that since driving was down there was no need to replenish stockpiles at high prices. The first major report indicating that it was down that significantly came recently. >It didn't seem to affect prices till Bush said he would lift off shore drilling bans. Coincidence, mostly, I think, because most speculators have to know that, best case scenario, there's no way the removal of that ban increases supply any time within the next couple of years. -Z
