The timing of the AP article is pretty interesting, coming as it is just as the traditional summer driving season in the USA is set to begin. Of course, the context would be a lot more interesting if crude prices are simultaneously hitting $60, but I think we're probably on the way there anyway.
The folks over at peakoil.com are complaining that MSNBC *had* to throw in the EIA graph that may mislead people into thinking that the peak is far away, but the editors probably might have thought that carrying the ASPO graph would cause some panic. Of course, regular readers and members of the community know that it is the *ASPO* graph which is more likely to be right. Who knows? One day, the ASPO graph might be the front-page item - *then* we'll see what happens next.
