Not sure about a ‘glut’, but local gas prices at 6 of the 8 local stations have dropped under the $3.00 mark for the first time in over a year. They currently range from $2.94 to 3.08.

“Speculators driving down the price of oil? “

I demand immediate hearings. Let’s get Sheila Jackson-Lee and other oil experts in this pronto!

Oh, did I say “Pronto”? Perhaps that’s racist. In the case of S-J-L, I must have meant “Bronto”.

Could it have something to do with the rise of the dollar in global currency markets?

This turn is due largely to U.S. refiners expanding their capacity this year far more than expected

Expected by whom? Do refineries expand in secret?..................
