Makes sense to me, but I think we keep adding to it regardless of price, probably the same amount of $ each month, but when prices are low, we get more barrels, called dollar-cost-averaging.

Bush has doubled it since sept. 11 2001. Klinton used it like his own personal oil piggy bank.
Look for Osamba to do the same

Look for Osamba to do the same Unfortunately the rate of consumption now compared to where it was during Slick Willy's term(s) is nowhere close. We need to stockup as much as possible, and still work on alternative sources. I've noticed recently as I'm sure many have, that folks with big ass SUV's are cruising around carefree now, where as before they kept them garaged or sidelined. We're becoming far too complacent and with the warmer months not too far in the future, that means more folks driving longer distances, we're likely to see oil rocket back up again, especially if OPEC continues to cut production in an effort to get higher prices. |

IIRC the royalties for oil leases are paid "in kind" (ie oil) so it gets added to all the time...

The Democrats made it illegal for the government to add any more oil to the SPR.

No, oil in-kind is usually at low prices for oil due to lower profits and a balancing effect on the market. Now would be a GREAT time for expansion. We are at 750 million barrels. Because the government can afford to inventory oil, they should do so with respect to price stabilization as it offers a minimum of TCO...they don't pay tax on it, unlike all others. |

Seriously? You want Obamas helicopters and tanks to have extra fuel to chase you and kill you just because you want to be free and exercise your constitutionally guaranteed freedoms?

No oil is going down to about $10 to $15 a barrel.
It is to expensive yet. |

Every item produced also has a price that is less than break even that it still makes sense to produce it and sell it at that price because of a few different reasons one of which is cash flow. So therefor they still may pump it and sell it for less than break even cost. Once it gets below that price they will shut the well down. |

We should have sold it at $144/bbl, then turned around and buy it at $40/bbl. We could have more than tripled our reserves.
