Unfortunately a good part of cost of fuel at the pump that we see is from speculation of the traders of the "stocks" Same goes for natural gas, which is way too high cost wise for what the supply is and has been for sometime now. Then there are all the other factors of the entire world that effect it. I would not say our oil supply is an issue but more so our refined oil supply is the issue and quite frankly we put ourselves partially there with choices made long ago. If I remember when I get home I will dig that paper up. There are actually a lot of interesting sources in oil based studies/magazines that have predicted/warned(both of these are probably bad wording on my part) of some of the situations we seem to have blindly gotten into over the years. I am very far from an expert on this stuff though, I just happen to pick it when I needed to do some economics papers and because of my long exposure to the oil industry through work. Oh well, at least the work day is almost over. On 8/16/05, Dana <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I think those things are important too.
