The strategic oil reserve, as used to affect the market price of oil, is silly and ultimately ineffective. If it was completely full today, it still only has enough oil to support about 30 days of US consumption. Of course it wouldn't be drained dry, so it would be some much smaller portion for use (1/4? 1/2?), which means we are talking about 5 - 15 days of usage at most.

Putting that amount into the market to try and affect pricing is a blip in the process, and within a few days the price would once again stabilize at whatever the market will bear, with the buyers and sellers agreeing on a sale price. Just like every other day.
yup
