Pretty alarmist, IMO, but possible.

Spoiler!

I am convinced that Donger either works for one of the large oil companies, or has a good sum of money tied up with said oil companies. NTTIAWWT, of course.

I don't know why you are convinced of that.

Regardless, you are wrong.

Gasoline FAQs

Regular readers of This Week In Petroleum are used to seeing non-oil-related comments tied to oil markets at the beginning of each issue. However, with the U.S. average retail price for regular gasoline reaching a new record (unadjusted for inflation), it is best to get straight to the facts, as EIA sees them. Judging from the way our phones have been ringing off the hook, there is a high level of interest in gasoline prices. Below are some of the frequently asked questions (FAQs) about gasoline markets addressed to EIA in recent days.

Why are gasoline prices so high?

Gasoline inventories have recently been drawn down at a dramatic rate to bridge the gap between supply and demand (see Figure 4, in the Weekly Petroleum Status Report (WPSR)). Over 12 consecutive weeks during February, March, and April, total gasoline inventories declined by a cumulative total of more than 34 million barrels (15 percent). This is the sharpest decline in gasoline inventories over a consecutive 12-week period in EIA’s recorded historical data. Lower import levels than last year and numerous refinery outages, due to both maintenance and unexpected incidents, have slowed supply growth, while at the same time, demand continues to grow, even with prices around $3 per gallon. While demand growth has slowed somewhat in recent weeks, over the four-week period ending May 11, preliminary data suggests that gasoline demand is still 1.0 percent (or nearly 100,000 barrels per day) greater than year-ago levels

Is there an end in sight or will gasoline prices continue to rise all summer?

Although gasoline inventories are expected to remain lower than normal throughout the summer, high prices have encouraged more supply and inventories have increased slightly the last two weeks. Domestic gasoline production has increased by more than 500,000 barrels per day in the last three weeks and total gasoline imports (including blending components) during the week ending May 11, rose above 1.5 million barrels per day, making that week the fifth highest weekly import volume ever and the highest since last May. Should imports continue at such levels and more domestic refinery capacity come back online, supplies will improve and wholesale prices could come down. However, with gasoline inventories likely to remain low all summer, retail prices are expected to remain close to $3 per gallon during the entire summer season. Prices could rise again towards the end of summer if demand surges, as it often does, in late July and August. However, absent any major petroleum infrastructure problems or overseas disruption in supplies, the average national retail price for regular gasoline is not expected to rise much beyond its present range, although a significant spread in regional price is likely to persist.

What can consumers do to help lower gasoline prices? What about boycotts?

Yesterday (May 15), some consumers heeded a call spread through the Internet to not buy gas that day. However, if these consumers simply shift their gasoline purchases to a different day, while continuing to use the same amount of fuel, no reduction in actual consumption of gasoline will have occurred. While EIA “neither formulates nor advocates any policy conclusions,” (see this statement on EIA’s independence), if prices are high due to supply and demand factors, and consumers cannot directly increase supply, reducing demand is left as the main option for consumers.

Some good news...

Gas prices finally retreat

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Gas prices may have finally topped out just ahead of the Memorial Day holiday as a modest decline in the average price ended a streak of 12 days of record highs.

It's unlikely the estimated 32 million drivers who will be hitting the road for the traditional start of the summer driving season will notice the savings, though, as the AAA survey Friday showed prices down only 0.2 cents to $3.225.

That decline will only save 4 cents for someone paying $64.50 to buy 20 gallons of gas. With that drop in price, a car getting 25 miles per gallon can go only 82 feet further, almost the distance from home plate to first base on a baseball diamond.

Still, it's the first time since May 12 that the AAA survey of 85,000 gas stations nationwide did not show a record high, and it's the first retreat in prices since May 9. The national average has now been above $3 a gallon since May 4.

Even with the record prices, AAA is predicting a record number of Americans will be hitting the road during the holiday weekend, with 38.3 million expected to travel 100 miles or more, up 1.7 percent from a year ago. And most of those - 32.1 million - will be driving, according to the motorist group.

What do you guys think? Do you agree with this number?

"Americans on average say that at $4.38 they would significantly cut back on the amount of driving they do."

Web site error rocks global oil markets



NEW YORK (Reuters) - World oil prices jumped briefly on Wednesday after a television station in Tulsa, Oklahoma -- the No. 62 U.S. media market -- posted an erroneous story about a refinery fire on its Web site.

At 10:14 EDT (1414 GMT), CBS affiliate KOTV reported that a lightning strike had caused a fire at an Oklahoma refinery -- sparking a flurry of excitement among energy traders and boosting U.S. crude prices 40 cents.

The refining company announced the story was "completely wrong" and the station withdrew the story.

"All it takes is a screw-up on a Web site to move the market. It just goes to show how tense this market is," said a Houston-based oil trader.

A string of refinery problems in the United States has propelled retail gasoline prices to record highs in recent weeks.

Its scary. If a hurricane enters the gulf this year, we might see $4.50.

After Katrina, the price spiked up $0.50, so if something similar happens this year, ~$3.75 is conceivable.
