U.S. crude oil falls over $1 on ample supplies

Reuters -- U.S. light crude oil futures fell more than $1 per barrel on Tuesday as domestic supplies and U.S. oil inventories rose and the country's oil demand showed little sign of improving despite a recovery in its economic growth.

At the same time the premium for international oil benchmark Brent over U.S. crude futures widened to more than $20 per barrel CL-LCO1=R as investors worried about supplies in the spot market outside the United States.

By 1230 GMT, U.S. crude oil futures for March were trading around $95.91 per barrel, down $1, having hit an intraday low of $95.84.

Is there anyone that thinks the price will remain where it is over a period of the next few years? Drill baby drill will only get us closer to the bottom of the oil drum. It won't matter who the president is.

If Obama does not like the report, he will just ignore it like he has done with other reports.

Oil prices are still far too high. Greedy oil speculators need to be kicked out of the oil market. Supply and demand should be controlling oil prices not oil futures.

When is President Obama's April 21st task force on high oil and gas prices finally going to report back?

Supply and demand with a little speculation and political uncertainty thrown in just to make it interesting and a reason to write another wishy-washy article.

Another slant from Reuters. Dont have much faith in any of these reports. No consistency. Almost like they throw a dart and where it sticks...thats the story. FACTS, give us FACTS. Something with substance to back it up.

WTI does not matter.

Brent still rising and gasoline futures follow Brent.

As usual, gas prices at the pump are quick to climb, but slow to come down. I wish I would stop getting "pumped" at the pump.

Prices at the pump should then go UP! They do that when oil prices go up or down.

Hey, maybe gas stations should do what other retailers do when they need to move inventory and improve cash flow ... have a SALE! "25% to 40% off!"
