BODY:
Consumers could
pay more to heat their homes and drive their cars this winter, with worldwide
demand for petroleum products rising and OPEC members showing
little sign of budging beyond their reduced levels of oil production. Ministers
of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries are expected to stick by
their most recent round of production cuts when they meet Wednesday in Vienna,
Austria. OPEC produces more than 26 million barrels of crude each day, almost
two-fifths of the world's total.
