When oil prices spike, where does the money go?

I was responding to the OPs comment that was needlessly hyperbolic. I don't think you are posting with good intentions or limited thought got put into it.

I doesn't matter where the operational band is - if at about 280 M barrels - they have a reasonable amount of runway before they start hitting hard technical barriers per OP comment especially with oil flowing into the country from other sources.

I've asked twice, in good faith, how much further you think the SPR can be drawn down and you've refused to answer both times. Still, in good faith, wondering what your answer is in case I'm missing something.

I answered your question - if you don't understand what I sent you then thats on you not me. And I did it in good faith.

Focusing on a number is a fool's errand - and it either seems like you are trying to pigeonhole someone into a weird/arbitrary datapoint or you are a bot without the ability to comprehend. I honestly don't know which one. The name implies bot.

"focusing on a number is a fool's errand" - someone who the numbers are not on the side of.

So what number would you like to propose since you are so knowledgable on the matter?
