Crude Oil Rises a Second Day on U.S. Gasoline Supply Forecas

Bloomberg -- Aug. 20 (Bloomberg) -- Crude oil rose for a second day before a weekly U.S. government report on stockpiles that may show gasoline supplies shrank for a fourth week in the world's largest energy user.

U.S. supplies of gasoline probably fell by 3 million barrels last week from 202.8 million barrels the previous week, according to a Bloomberg survey. Goldman Sachs Group Inc. repeated its forecast that prices will top last month's $147.27 record this year as emerging market demand strains global supplies.

``The forecasts are pointing to a decline of as much as 3 million barrels in gasoline supplies while we remain in the peak driving season,'' said Robert Montefusco, a broker at Sucden (U.K.) Ltd. in London. ``On top of that, Goldman are still bullish and some OPEC members are calling for cuts at the next meeting.''

The refiners are their own worst enemeies in the court of human opinion. And of course Goldman is trying to drive the price back up. I guess that must be the way they bet the house money.

This country runs on OIL! We need cheap OIL to maintain our life styles, low food prices and other consumables. Unless we all want to go back to the horse and buggy days and live in caves or underground, we need OIL. I see no great plans to replace the internal combustion engine at this time.

Tell the retailers you want local/US products. I saw a lightweight rain jacket at Dick's last night for $160 next to it was one on sale for $29 both made in China.

TomT2Lee Champion Author Cincinnati Posts:3,470 Points:1,091,790 Joined:Sep 2005	Message Posted: Aug 21, 2008 6:57:44 AM Ignore TomT2Lee Report Abuse This is the first and so far only blog I have stayed with for a couple of years. I have learned a lot about people. It is very clear that very few people can filter out the propaganda and look at the fundamentals. If you want to be down right angry and focus that anger on a prime cause of the higher prices, this should be your target: The US Federal Reserve (toss in the other global banks for good measure). They are DESTROYING the value of the dollar. The original charter for the US dollar was to retain it's value and provide a fair monetary system. That is NOT (NOT) what is happening. In case you can not make the connection, let me be clear. Devaluation of the US dollar means higher commodity prices. INFLATION. How about 200 million Americans send an email to the Federal Reserve daily demanding the return of a US dollar that does NOT lose value and a fair monetary system. Focus your energy on one of the causes of high fossil fuel prices instead of the propaganda.

WonderfulMI Champion Author Michigan Posts:5,831 Points:805,425 Joined:Jun 2008	Message Posted: Aug 21, 2008 6:44:25 AM Ignore WonderfulMI Report Abuse Of the five stories posted, one states that gasoline is down 40 cents, one story stated that the price spike is believed over, one story states that pump prices are falling, and this story states that crude oil prices are going back up. What can we believe? Buying a tank of gasoline is similar to playing the stock market. The big difference is that you DON’T need to buy stock when you don’t want to, but you do need to buy gasoline regularly
