That’s looking like it’s starting to pick up and get to more averAGe levels, and we expect a gradual improvement in prices. The risk is that the inventory numbers will not be so positive today.” Big oil and the refiners have created false shortAGes by producing less fuel and raising the price at the pump. That’s what we have to look forward too.
