Redstar5 Champion Author Baltimore Posts:16,434 Points:1,446,180 Joined:Mar 2006	Message Posted: Jun 22, 2008 1:40:15 PM Ignore Redstar5 Report Abuse No - There is no need for rationing because there is no shortage of supply. It would only be necessary if some event took a chunk out of the supply chain, the available fuel would be rationed out until supplies reopened fully.

No lines means no shortage! No need to ration. we are just getting screwed by speculation. The bubble on oil will burst just like Real Estate it is just a matter of when.
