OMFG!!! Regular gas $3.07

This makes no sense. You're extrapolating that higher gas prices results in fewer bad drivers? Ummm how? So you're saying that bad drivers can't afford to pay at the pump? Plenty of bad drivers that have money.

read between the lines. Ah nevermind, you don't even live in the States, do you? So you're missing the point.

To really un-crowd the streets it would have to hit like $8 per gallon. What would all the cops do with no one to pull over?

My friends control 300 Million off of Nigeria/Ghana in multiple fields. I think you see my point.

I just met with the head of sourcing from the world's largest insurance company and one of the few that insures those fields. (they front for local admitted companies).

He said no one controls shit in Nigeria, even the government half the time Tough place to do biz. He told a funny ass story about how the regional governor awarded a contract to his brother to provide insurance, even though his brother did not even know what insurance was.

That was some funny shit. Eventually the local governor relented, and the plant got built. Was that your friend invovled in that?

My younger brother lives next to a guy who is one of the top commoditities traders in the US. He's a guy with a Russian background, lives just north of NYC. I wonder if you two know each other. You know any NYC area traders?

Maybe start going after the scammers, false advertisers, etc.

If they were maxed out, they wouldn't be seeking additional allocations because their stock piles would just become larger. They wouldn't be able to process additional inventory fast enough.







.

oh and what exactly do you mean by 'seeking additional allocations'?

everyone keeps low inventories and low overheads.

Chevron controls shit. In fact, they have their way in Nigeria. It's one of the most corrupt countries I've seen in a long time.

Funny thing, Ghana bought a load of crude from Nigeria, and someone stole the ship. Look at a map and figure that one out.
