Unfortunately I do not have a lot of confidence in the veracity of the US Govenment when it comes to reporting accurately information which may not coincide with governmental desires. As a US citizen it is my fervent hope that I am proven wrong! Meanwhile, China in the last three monhs has seen automobile sales grow at an unprecedented pace. More cars in China means more gasoline and therefore more petroleum. Why does this fact draw so much less attention than the US weekly oil inventory report?
