Kerm, I'm just beginning to think of how large, high volume consumers can effect commodity prices. I've been well aware of their influence on prices in agricultural commodities because that's something that I know a lot more about. I never really thought about airlines, or even users such as large manufacturers, etc...in relation to oil until I was reading the Air Canada report and something clicked when they were discussing the fact that it would be in a position to negotiate future fuel prices in a very favourable market. I'm assuming that there could be a very cyclical effect to buying pattens. Anyhow, this is something I was just curious about and thought I'd mention on the thread in case anyone has seen anything on the topic. Thanks for your reply. I'll do a bit of looking around. Croc
