US Crude Oil -- Days Supply

US crude oil, commercial, days of supply --  30.5: link here

The number of days of commercial US crude oil: 30.5 days. That's down from 30.8 days last week.
That's still more than four weeks of commercial US crude oil in storage at a time when three weeks is more than sufficient: a) this is not driving season; b) this is not hurricane season; c) gasoline demand is way, way down from historical norms (yes, I know, somewhat of a tautological argument). I need to see days of supply trending toward 24 days before I start to get bullish about increased activity in the oil fields.
