Quote:I would not say that the current price of oil is due to the demand and supply but rather due to over excessive speculative attacks.I wanted to post such a list as you did, thanks, only my conclusions are different.
@Firicetalon: if there is a conspiracy than it is the about the fact that oil prices have been kept low on purpose. Prices of oil most of the time didn't even get corrected for inflation....so while everybody new oil supplies were finite we actually started paying less and less for it.
Now finally there is sort of a free market going one and we have to pay more........actually when there was a real free market prices would be even higher.
I think you should start worrying about alternatives instead of worrying that you spend more on filling your car.
