If Strategic oil reserves were drawn down for a non-emergency, wouldn't WTI rise even more dramatically when we have a real emergency? For example, as we enter the possible emergency season caused by hurricanes, would we want a strategic reserve of sour crude which refineries aren't prepared to process into gasoline?

If Congress Critters feel they have to do something about gasoline prices, they could reduce taxes on it. However ill advised that may be, setting tax levies is at least within their job descriptions.
