I was not aware that the inventory was at the level you indicated in the Southeast. The key question is why did you have to pay $5.26 a gallon if it was existing inventory. That raises questions regarding up-stream suppliers. Yes I am a capitalist, but in case of a national crisis price gouging will be examined.
