It's the quarterly time of year where the reporters on their way home from the office check out the tank farm off to the left of the highway to see how full they are. And lookie there, why, we're almost stocked to the brim (and oil prices have dropped now that the G8 said they would look into speculation on the market). Don't worry, in a few weeks they'll have to start producing heating oil for the winter. That'll drain the tanks and they'll be able to raise the price again as they transition to winter blends.
