If they keep drawing from the reserve at ~3 million barrels per week (as is about the average for the past few weeks), they have about 100 weeks (almost two years) until the reserve is fully empty. Of course some of the oil at the bottom will not be usable but it’s hard to find out exactly how much, so I guess 11 months is a pretty reasonable figure.
I will also say, maybe it’s just in my head, but a full tank of gas now lasts me like a week of driving, and I don’t drive that much… (like 150 miles/week max, average about 90)
I know the EPA did some tricknology with how much ethanol can be put into fuel, but a full tank used to last me almost a month, and gas is almost double the price of what it used to be…

dropped 6.1mb last week
Holy fuck. I guess that explains why the publicized weekly reporting suddenly stopped at July 31st.
That also means that the actual time is even shorter.
is there away to use open source intelligence to know how much is being drawn?
