A record 1.6 million barrels a day in U.S. refined petroleum products were exported during the first four months of this year, up 33 percent from 1.2 million barrels a day over the same period in 2007. Shipments this February topped 1.8 million barrels a day for the first time during any month, according to final numbers from the Energy Department. The surge in exports appears to contradict the pleas from the U.S. oil industry and the Bush administration for Congress to open more offshore waters and Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to drilling. "We can help alleviate shortages by drilling for oil and gas in our own country," President Bush told reporters this week. _________________________________________________ Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Harry Back to top   Ads Advertising Sponsor MuttonJeff Guest Posted: Mon Jul 14, 2008 7:56 am    Post subject: Re: US oil companies are shipping record amounts of gasoline On Jul 13, 9:56 pm, Harry Hope <riv...@ix.netcom.com> wrote: Quote: http://www.cnbc.com/id/25518912 As Oil Firms Seek Drilling Access, Exports Set Record By Reuters While the U.S. oil industry wants access to more federal lands to help reduce reliance on foreign suppliers, U.S.-based companies are shipping record amounts of gasoline and diesel fuel to other countries.

Err, is it the "supply" part or the "demand" part that so confuses your stupid goober ass? You see, sparky, one of the inescapable realities of a free market economy is when you REDUCE the supply of a commodity - say, by sending the supply overseas - while demand INCREASES, prices tend to go UP.
