Masboy1980, First, pls add description to your good release. Second - add screenshots - it should be at least 3. If you decide to put content as screenshot it would be better to add it under spoiler "Content" instead of your "Please see screenshots" and under spoiler "Screenshots" put at least 3 another screenshots of your release.

Description: Americans buy ten thousand gallons of gasoline
a second, without giving it much of a thought.
Where does all tliis gas come from? Lisa Margonelli's
desire to learn took her on a hundred-thousandmile
journey from her local gas station to oil fields
half a world away. In search of the truth behind
the myths, she wriggled her way into some of
the most off-limits places on earth: the Strategic
Petroleum Reserve, the New York Mercantile
Exchange's crude oil market, oil fields from
Venezuela to Texas to Chad, and even an Iranian
oil platform where the United States fought a
forgotten one-day battle.
In a story by turns surreal and alarming,
Margonelli meets lonely workers on a Texas drilling
rig, an oil analyst who almost gave birth on the
NYMEX trading floor, Chadian villagers who are
said to wander the oil fields in the guise of lions, a
Nigerian warlord who changed the world price of
oil with a single cell-phone call, and Shanghai
bureaucrats who dream of creating a new Detroit.
Deftly piecing together the mammoth economy
of oil, Margonelli finds a series of stark warning
signs for American drivers
