The Saudis want to put American producers out of business. They have plenty of cash reserves, so they can afford to lose in the short term to achieve their goal.

Exactly right. Keystone had them on the ropes. They ranted and raved and 0bama/Hillary/Kerry caved. I sure hope the unions remember that.

September RBOB is at $1.15/gal on the CME

So if you believe what you’re writing, time to start buying gasoline futures.
