"US strategic reserves should never be sold to the public to lower prices."

- Hmmmm. In your first post you spoke of "purchases", now you've switched to "sales". Changing the subject and moving on only works for Democrats.

Never graduated high school? When the Congress authorizes "purchase" for the strategic reserves the oil sits in storage tanks destined for emergencies to be used by the military, and other govt organizations AND IS NOT stored for the ordinary citizen.

Now if the Strategic reserves are to be used they would have to be SOLD to the American public.

See? We PURCHASE the oil and then we SELL it. Go read a comic book or something.
