Oil imports fall as gasoline stocks near seasonal lows
Middle East oil expert Christopher Rand testified that API figures show imports fell to 4.9 million barrels per day in the week ending January, erasing a brief rise caused by Arab oil cutoff leakage. He argued oil companies exaggerate the crisis to raise prices, while hearing witness Martin Lobel questioned data credibility. Exxon official WT Slick disputed Lobel's claims.
