If my memory serves me right, the Countries you have mentioned been around for some time. Are you telling me that those countries have changed their habit overnight?
Are you really that silly? There are myraid forces at work that all affect prices. Underlying it all, and the reason why gas prices have been trending up over years is exactly that these countries ARE changing their habits.
China, Indonesia, Thailand, Korea, Oman, Pakistan, Brazil, Argentina, India; go anywhere and find the same thing, an explosion of automobiles. My friend, you are standing in a very long line of gas buyers, and you had better get used to being outbid.
