I think what this really proves is that the oil industry was manipulated all along to create higher prices artificially.

When the demand was growing faster than the supply, the prices rose. When the supply is seen to be growing faster than the demand, the prices fell.

Is that what you consider manipulation, supply and demand?

If the oil industry could manipulate prices, prices would never fall.

If you can control the supply to manipulate the price, yes...
