well you know the routine.. so I'll just skip all that and hit the hightlights.


Production of 891 k bbls is below the new target of 910 but getting closer.. up from last week's 869.

Domestic Blender's input of 845 k was "decent" for this time of year..

Stocks once again took a big dive depleting 90 k bbls per day.. which means that we exported.. 136 k bbls.. 16.1% of domestic useage.. "pretty good" which makes total demand of 981 Real good.  I'm not sure how long we can keep this going but not complaining.  Again I suspect that South America (like the bean market someday..) will steal some thunder but by then we should be into the US summer driving season.

As Insider points out.. we could "help ourselves" where possible but for now..  We can not diminish the good things going on.

At least this is good to see.  As the transportation situation thaws.. it should help everyone out.. including the north.  (??) 


(Ethanol Insider.. just adding on.. didn't see the need to start a separate thread.  Thoughts/comments..?)  


ps e-10 was about $.20 cheaper in Oklahoma last weekend.. about $3.30 vs $3.50'ish for the all petro stuff.  There were a couple Compressed Natty Gas fuel sites.. so..??  Obviously I used the e-10.  ;-)
