agr964 All-Star Author Fresno Posts:616 Points:71,120 Joined:Aug 2008	Message Posted: Apr 17, 2012 1:27:27 AM Ignore agr964 Report Abuse Here's some news for you speculators (AKA Scum) out there: Nothing is going to bolster fuel demand until it stops being absurdly expensive. You should be noticing this with demand going down week after week after week as you continue to ignore reality and blindly drive up prices filling your pockets by stealing from everyone else. I hope the price of oil crashes and you lose everything. Thank you and have a nice day. [Edited by: agr964 at 4/17/2012 1:32:34 AM EST]
