no law vs. it that I know, it's just that i don't think the industry is prepared nor wants to sell to the average person. the crude oil, all though measured in barrels is transported in huge bulk quantities, then pumps are likely used to move from the tanker to the refiner or their storage bins. and then there are the pipe lines that move oil across the states... this is my best guess.
and what use would we folks have for crude anyway?
there is a member here that used to work for the industry perhaps he'll catch this someday and edumucate us.
good day.
