If the strategic petroleum reserve isn’t full we should be buying oil for storage. We can also buy oil and store it in rail tankers.

Last time I checked SPR was at 95%.
Not sure what the true “maximum” number is.

As for rail cars, they’re on shortage with a big production backlog so I don’t expect many to be sitting around as storage vessels.

How many days of OPEC imports do you think the SPR should hold?

You haven't tried to rent a rail tanker lately. The back order for more is up to a couple years I believe.
