Why cant we just tap into our Oil reserves to lighten up the gas prices??

Because dear heart, that would only be a temp fix at best. And it would still be some time before those reserves could be moved as needed.





The strategic oil reserves were never intended to be used for that purpose in the first place. There isn't much gas in them, it's mostly fuel for ships and airplanes neither of which you can burn on your car.Why cant we just tap into our Oil reserves to lighten up the gas prices??
Because the environmentalists believe that there may be a rare fruit fly that may suffer if we intrude in its habitat. Poor little fruit fly. :(Why cant we just tap into our Oil reserves to lighten up the gas prices??
theres not really all that much there anyway .... so you drop gas prices for a few months then what? you are right back in the same boat with no more reserves.
