The reason they want to open the oil reserve is too make filling up their gas guzzler less painful...for a few weeks.

No, it is to avoid panicked price spikes caused by those here and elsewhere who crow about unneeded fillups to avoid paying $10 extra for the next tank.

Mellow out, everyone. The patriotic thing to do is not to hoard, but to consume less for the next few weeks. And not to fill up until you are below a half a tank.

We were below half a tank when I filled up. ;). And I didn't buy any new gas cans. Trying NOT to panic, as best I can.

the oil crisis we are seeing has a bigger crisis looming...WINTER.

START more domestic drilling and keep the OIL and natural gas here NOW!
