Arguing economics is almost as perilous as arguing religion however, there is one thing that bothers me. If there is a one and one half million barrels per day shortage, how is all of the worldwide demand being met. If there is an actual physical shortage, should not there first be shortage at the consumer end before the resulting price increase?
