Brent Crude trades at a premium to WTI for one reason and one reason only. The GEOGRAPHY of supply and demand.
Both are light sweet crudes, and HISTORICALLY WTI trades at a PREMIUM OVER BRENT - not at a $20/barrel (a blatant lie - total propaganda) discount to BRENT.

So that particular article in zerohedge is not only FALSE - they can also blow it out their butts. TOTAL BULLSHIT.

With these two key factors, investors can begin to price these different types of oil on the world market. Currently, there are two major benchmarks for world oil prices, West Texas Intermediate (WTI for short) and Brent crude oil. Both are light, sweet crude oils although WTI is generally sweeter and lighter than its European counterpart. As a result of this, WTI often trades at a premium, usually by just a few dollars a barrel. However, thanks to a Libyan crisis, which has decreased the supply of light, sweet crude in the European region, and a supply glut at the main storage facility of WTI in Oklahoma, the premium/discount situation has flipped and now Brent is more expensive than WTI.

And that doesn't even address the readily egregious lie about $4.00+ per gallon gasoline that others have already commented on.
