If we use our total need daily. Not suggesting that. The 4.4M per day ->


that will make it last almost 6 months, is what the 'Allowed daily amount was set at.

I don't know, but we need to do something. I know you guys in Cali don't feel for us on the East Coast (any more than my NY friends want to hear me bitch about cold weather in VA), BUT gas prices are over $4 in VA now. I need to run high test gas, so I paid $4.79 last week In VA (probably up to $5 by now).

I am fortunate, and yet even I have been using "Eco" mode around town, but i did NOT buy the AMG land rocket to creep around to maximize gas mileage

People like most of us on this board are not the ones who have to decide between gas and food for their tables, but there are WAY too many people who do!

The REAL answer IMO was to NEVER have stopped or slowed harvesting and maximizing our OWN fossil fuel resources, but it is a bit late for that to make an immediate impact. I just thought maybe we offset the time required to ramp back up by releasing some of our reserves. I don't know how long it takes to ramp production back up, but they DAMN SURE shut everything down in a hurry!
