  Then again OPEC would stand to lose quite a bit if the price
dropped.  I still haven't seen any stations with empty tanks 
so where's the low supply?
  Dad brought up a good point yesterday, since a barrel is 31 
us gallons and the price is about $90/barrel, he was wondering 
how they manage to sell it for the price they do here and make 
any profit at all.  Since they pay about $3/gallon, sell it for a 
little over that, don't get 100% return on the refining, lots of 
taxes along the way, paying business costs and so on...
