Is the energy sector under-reporting oil demand?  Some recent research suggests that's possible—potentially by a lot—as in 1.2 million barrels of oil per day (bopd). For oil bulls, that's not enough right now to sway oil prices.  But it could mean the market is tighter than everyone thinks. And that wouldn’t...
