Oil supply isn't driving this. In fact, there is a huge glut in oil on the U.S. market right now, as evidenced by the enormous gap between the price of Brent crude oil and West Texas crude on the spot market.

The decline of the U.S. dollar is driving this more than anything else. Dumping more oil on the world market will simply make it cheaper for others, not us. In fact, the U.S. in 2011 -- for the first time in more than 60 years -- became a net exporter of refined fuel products. The stark reality is that we're becoming increasingly unable to afford our own domestically-produced fuel.

There is a glut in the landlocked middle, but we still import significantly more oil than we produce ourselves. And that oil is not selling at the WTI discount.
