is gasoline and other refinery products inventory low or hi nationwide @ 5/20/06?

i try to keep up on this stuff, right now inventories are high and demand is lowering,,,however the price is staying high due to commodity traders anticapating a demand spike as summer gets closer.

I disagree, it's right here in America in the Gulf of Mexico. I used to work for United Pipe out of Houston, Texas.\n\nThey just pump out the crude and send it to our refineries in the Gulf. We also have refineries on the West Coast, New England refineries. The rest is sent up the Mississippi River to Saint Louis.

an owners manual from this period would describe the recommended fuel as regular low octane unleaded.  however, "regular, low octane unleaded" refers to a 90 to 91 octane that used to be the lower octane available at the pumps.  we now use that octane as Premium unleaded gasoline or petrol.  have fun with it, it is a great engine

It varies with the grade produced.  This example is is 94.5 nitromethane with nitroethane and nitropropane.  I doubt there is any measurable amount of propane left in the commercial product.

ithink your talking about E85, the 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline. there are about 600 pumps nationwide right now, but you can look up more information here http://www.e85fuel.com/index.php

To Prove to the Right People that My Compact, Safe, Low Pressure Unit can Turn Regular Pump Gasoline into Propane. I've already Accomplished it. The Problem is the Fact that all Vehicles from 1996 to the Present are Required by the Stringent EPA  OBD II Law to Run at 14.7 Parts of Air to 1 Part of Fuel, or the vehicle will Fail Inspection . Even if Fuel Economy is Markedly Improved, and Emissions Lowered, the Vehicle will fail Inspection because by Law, there is a maximum, and a Minimum Limit. Deviate from Either Parameter and the Vehicle will Fail Inspection. This is Insane! I've been to the US Patent Office and Looked at the Patents for Other Similar Units that have been kept off the Market.The Pogue Carburetor, which is Patented, is Documented to Provide 100 + MPG with a Flat-Head Ford V-8 Engine, that's usually 15 MPG, or Less! We have got to Reduce Dependence on Petroleum Worldwide, Vehicle Emissions, and Global Warming. That's the Dream , and the "Why". So, How am I Doing? 14.7 to 1 is the Law. I've Managed to prove 100 to 1 is Possible, but it's a Losing Proposition at this Point. For even More,http://energy21.freeservers.com/bookrep.html Hybird Vehicles aren't the Answer.At Highway Speed, the Gas Engine takes Over, plus the Heavy Batteries have to be Hauled.Cheap, Safe Hydrogen is the Answer, but as long as there is a High level of Profit in Petroleum, nothing will Change, including the insane EPA OBD II Law.So, I'm not doing very well at this Point. Maybe with the Power of the Internet that will Change.

oil not gasoline. according to this blogger, yes\n\nSen. Ron Wyden, D-Oregon, is demanding that the Commerce Department release detailed reports on which companies are exporting U.S. oil, how much and where it went.\n\nLast year the nation exported 268 million barrels of oil. Shockingly, according to Dept. of Energy figures, that's about equal to the amount of oil we imported from Iraq in 2001, the year before our latest war with that country began. It's also about equal to the most optimistic guesses about production volume from ANWR, if drilling is allowed there.\n\nIn other words, if we simply held onto our own oil, the United States would have no oil interest in Iraq at all. And it would also negate any perceived need to disturb an irreplaceable wildlife refuge in the search for oil.\n\nBut the Commerce Department refused to provide the detail Wyden wants, saying it could only be released to a Congressional committee, not an individual representative. The agency also claims federal law forbids disclosure unless a finding is made that withholding the information contradicts national interests. That sounds like hogwash to me.\n\nWyden's request is of significant interest for two more reasons. First, it is likely that if oil drilling is approved in ANWR, much of that oil will be exported to Asia rather than sold in the U.S. Secondly, the more obvious reason is that every motorist and politician who can warm a chair is concerned about the nation's growing dependence on imported oil. It would seem to contradict our economic and political interests to worsen this imbalance by selling off our own supplies.\n\nIn a letter sent Monday to Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez, Wyden demanded release of the information, calling it "directly relevant to the coming Congressional debate on how to address our nation's dependence on imports of oil and other petroleum products."\n\nI'd call that an understatement. But Wyden faces an uphill battle to get a committee to demand the numbers. Though Wyden is a member of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, it and all other Congressional committees are controlled by Republicans. And as we've seen, Republicans these days aren't very interested in facts, especially if those facts contradict their agenda.

yes, and we are far behind other countries in mass transit. I used 10 percent Ethanol 10 years ago. Paid less for it than Gas. The oil companies took it off the market. If HisBushyness had any clue what was going on in America he could fix the problem with one executive order. That will not happen. He will not cut off the hand that feeds him. If he puts price caps in place and the supply goes up then the price will go down and that would stop his cash flow from the wealthy oil corporations who own Congress.

Govt approves ONGC's Kakinada refinery  \n \nNew Delhi, July 07: Government has approved Oil and Natural Gas Corp's plans to set up a refinery at Kakinada in Andhra Pradesh and may give nod to its refinery with Cairn Energy in Rajasthan shortly. \n\nONGC's subsidiary Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals Ltd would join IL&FS and Andhra Pradesh Industrial Development Corp in the Rs 5,500 crore export-oriented refinery, government sources said. \n\nSources said ONGC would also have a role in the 5 million tonnes refinery where IT and APIDC partnership would be restricted to a maximum of 50 per cent. \n\nIL&FS has an MoU with APIDC for developing a refinery in a proposed special economic zone at Kakinada. ONGC also wanted to join the consortia of IL&FS, APIDC and Kakinada sea ports ltd for building the SEZ with ONGC's equity participation restricted to a maximum of 26 per cent. \n\nState-owned ONGC has also plans to set up a refinery at Barmer in Rajasthan with Cairn Energy of UK. \n\n"We have proposed a special purpose vehicle for setting up the 7.5 million tonnes refinery at the site of the Cairn Energy's oil find in Rajasthan," a top company official said. \n\nCairn Energy and ONGC would hold 50 per cent stake each in the SPV named Rajasthan Refineries Ltd. \n\nPetroleum Ministry had asked Indian Oil Corp and Hindustan Petroleum Corp Ltd to also make a case for setting up a refinery in Rajasthan but none of them came up with a convincing plan, the government official said adding ONGC-Cairn plan may go through albeit with a change that MRPL develops the project. \n\nBureau Report

A couple of years ago, all the Amoco stations in my city became British Petroleum, But I don't think they have much to do with Mobil except that they both are making us take it in our arses with the gas prices. Funny how the oil industry has claimed the highest earnings ever in history last year, yet they "claim" that they are only making a small profit. Hmm...

I would like to Change the Clinton/Gore EPA-OBD II Law. This applies to all Gasoline Powered Vehicles in the USA from 1996 to the Present, like Yours. This Law requires that all Vehicles remain Factory Stock, in order to Pass Inspection. Specifically, the Engine Fuel System must Run at 14.7 Parts of Air to 1 Part of Fuel. I've found a way to Convert Gasoline into Propane, 100 Parts of Air to 1 Part of Fuel. My Unit is Safe, Compact, and uses Low Pressure Air to do it's thing. 50 + MPG with even the Largest SUV, and a 10 X Reduction of Emissions. And, thanks to the EPA-OBD II Law, it's Illegal! When that Gestapo-Inspired Vehicle Inspection Device is Connected, any Change at all, even for the Better, and the Vhicle will Fail, and will be Illegal to Drive! Because it's not Putting out enough Pollution to meet [O]riginal [E]quipment [M]anufacturer's Specifications! This is Insane! I'm not the First, only the Latest. I've been to the US Patent Office to Check out the "Wild Stories" about Fuel Vaporizers that have been kept off the Market. Guess What? It's True! Case in Point, the Pogue Carburetor, with a Patented Claim of 100 MPG, with a Flathead Ford Engine Powered Vehicle that was 15 MPG!This was before WW II. So, as far as Getting a Patent, forget it! See, Greed and Money have Stopped it Every Single Time! And Now the EPA-OBD II Law....... Here's what I'd really Like to do to Expose the Hypocricy of this Law. I'd like to Restore and Convert a whole Fleet of Vehicles and Donate them to Charity Starting with the Local Meals-On-Wheels Program, then, Volunteer Disabled Veterans' Services.And so Many Others. There is no Shortage of Good People that want to Volunteer to Help the less Fortunate. But with the High Cost of Fuel, it's becoming Increasingly Difficult. Even if I did manage to get the Funds to do this, someone Connected with "Big Oil" would find a way to make One of the Converted Vehicles Explode, to Discredit it. Remember the TV News Show where the Chevy Truck with the "Side-Saddle" Fuel Tank was Rigged to Explode to Discredit It? See, all Petroleum is essentially the Same, on a Molecular Level. Only the Dispersal is Altered. If That's Wrong, then how is it that Engines DO Run on Propane? To do so by Conventional Means is such a Hassle that it's just not worth it! Hybirds? At Highway Speeds, the Gas [14.7 to1] Engine Kicks-In, Plus, the Heavy, Expensive Batteries have to be Hauled. To Sum Up, I'd like to change the EPA-OBD II Law that requires Vehicles to Emit Enough Pollution to Pass Inspection, with any reduction resulting in Failure. But, "IT AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN" as long as "Big Oil" is in Control! Watch Closely the Next Time Your Car is Inspected, and ask how many have Failed,and Why! 14.7 to 1. It's the Law that must Change!

To tell the truth, we americans are all , what you might say, "Spoiled". We have had plenty of everything, including Gasoline, for so long we just can't see ourselves doing with less than usuall. True if we would realize our consumption and deal with it before it is a have-to case, we would be better prepsred for the future. But America is not like that, we have plenty so we use it and when we don't get enought, we look for somebody to be in fault.

Used to be $2.21 as I remember. I saw yesterday the gas station near my house was $2.33. The low gas prices arguement was used by the GOP as a campaign tool and now they still lost. So, it is rising again.

55 gal...no, we're not running out anytime soon. Just be prepared for european style prices until people start carpooling to work and trading in hummers/SUV's.\n\nChina & India are buying crude/crude futures like crazy. Nigeria & Argentina aren't producing to capacity. Katrina damaged a lot of US rigs in the Gulf of Mexico. \n\nWe still produce around half of the crude(which we turn to gas) we use daily. We also have "strategic reserves" of crude which we keep for things like wars but use when supplies get tight.\n\nSo we either reduce our demand, pay higher prices, or start drilling in Alaska and off our coast. I carpool with a coworker in a Miata. S*rew those OPEC countries- conserve!!!!

Think this through logically:\nIf raw material inventory is high, ask why? Is it because they are not producing as much as they had predicted? Is it because of inefficient purchasing decisions? Is it because they are stockpiling inventory in anticipation of higher prices? Are they stocking obsolete inventory?\n\nLook at sales for the same period: Up, down, or flat?\n\nYou need to look at the complete picture in order to draw intelligent conclusions.

Could this be it? It was written on the right date and has the words "shortage" and "oil" in the title.\nhttp://www.businessweek.com/bwdaily/dnflash/apr2003/nf2003041_2516_db053.htm\nHope I've helped.

I JUST PAID OFF MY HONDA INSIGHT.  IT HAS A 10 GALLON GAS TANK.  BUT IF BUSH'S GAS PRICES GOTO $6 A GALLON IT'S STILL GOING TO HURT TO PAY $60 EVERY TIME I TURN AROUND.
