RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:AEI Inventory reportThe thing about the gas builds.. when the price is high, people tend to buy less at the pump weekly.. when the price drops, as it did last week, folks decide lets "fill er up" when the price is low.. so with 10's of millions of drivers state side, when they collectively decide to buy, the numbers react accordingly.. nothing to see here folks.. its steady as she goes IMO..

Maybe the reason no continuation of build was seen was that demand was so much in excess of supply that there was a net draw, despite the usual build for maintenance and tooling.
That 'could be the reason" BUT when I drive my car, I generally use the same amount of gasoline per week. These build/draws are jumping all over the place and if you look at the forecasts , they are less than 50% correct. That means that my 5 year old child would have a better chance of guessing if we have a build or draw than the API/EIA experts. That's not right...
