If we stop exporting diesel, perhaps OUR price here would come down.

When your shipping out more gas this is what happens to inventory so you can charge more at home and keep this economy down.

Inventories are down. Sounds like the perfect excuse to raise oil and gasoline prices!

What's going to happen if we have an unusually cold winter and inventory keeps dropping. Can you say higher consumer prices?

Unless the U.S. nationalizes their oil companies (I am not advocating this) the supply from their oil producers will go to the highest bidder and not go to the U.S. public until which time the prices to be got from domestic sales of the product reaches levels to be gained from overseas sales. Just economic fact.

I'm sure the speculators have worked themselves up into a frenzy about this and just can't wait to run up prices.
