That is just for emergencies, though I did hear he is considering releasing some to help the companies operating in the hurricane path.
I guess you can say right now we are paying the price of being Americans. If you have been on the interstates, it is laughable the amount people driving huge autos and being the only occupant in the vehicle.
Consumers are finally are stepping away from the selfish reasons of buying autos and considering more reasonable ones. IMHO the government should stepped in years ago and taxed the living hell out of large autos that were not used for commercial purposes. We are way too damn reliant on petroleum for other uses to waste so much on our huge ass autos.
