When those in that area were wrecked by the storm guess what happened to the supply. Releasing the reserves is just a political feel good move. It doesn't matter how much crude you have. We are running existing refineries at max capacity. That is where the bottleneck is. I have worked at a refinery for the past 11 yrs so I have some idea how the business works. Gas will continue to b e expensive till we build more refineries and get into the ANWR supply. Till then enjoy that $5.00 cup of starbucks. Asher. How did racism get into a discussion on the price of gas? Any idiot knows white people pay less for gas! ( Only joking! I'm a black man! ) There hasn’t been a new refinery built in the U.S. in about 25 yrs. When those in that area were wrecked by the storm guess what happened to the supply.

Of course the Admin doesnt care about Black people so its not too big a surprise. The funniest poll I saw recently had Cheney's approval rate by Black americans - it was literally 1%!!
