Adriandavies 0 #27 July 9, 2008 From what I read from all the old timers on this here website most oil in Dakotas ends up coming out of the exhaust and getting deposited on jump suits! As a result I recommend rounding up as many old jump suits as can be found, wringing them out and refining the residue back into usuable petrol (sorry gasoline for you colonials Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Must be all those prius's that people are driving these days. Edited to add: However, looking at this weeks numbers you imported more that you exported. http://www.eia.doe.gov/pub/oil_gas/petroleum/data_publications/weekly_petroleum_status_report/current/txt/wpsr.txt It seems to select just one month or week as an example is not useful.
