Obama wants to sell our National Reserve and buy cheaper oil from the Saudis. What he doesn’t tell you is that the Saudi oil is heavy crude. It costs much more to refine it into gas than our light sweet crude. He’s looking for higher gas prices.

We certainly felt every % price increase! How about the same price decrease? 20% off of $4. - I should be paying $3.20 instead on $3.93, geeeeeee, I wonder who is making that money?

I heard that Saudi crude was light sweet - that the tankers actually burn it straight out of the ground on their way here ....

Throughout both countries, Saudi and the US produce heavy, light, sweet and sour crude oil. Individual reservoir properties can vary greatly, even if they are within the same operating field, not to mention country.
