TBONE3 Champion Author Pennsylvania Posts:8,741 Points:1,975,675 Joined:Mar 2005	Message Posted: Oct 1, 2010 12:12:28 AM Ignore TBONE3 Report Abuse Every time the government issues their information and it shows a drop in inventories, prices go up. Here is another area where the government doesn't help the tax payer. The oil industry really needs very little excuse to raise prices. Can't say the same for LOWERING prices when the report is favorable to the consumer.
