I think what this really proves is that the oil industry was manipulated all along to create higher prices artificially. People should really be pissed that the MSM and the industry is tying to manipulate the price upward agin because we know damn full well they will take the new price to a whole other level than before so they can bring it back down to a Lelia that is where it was last year. This is how they work because the higher prices on’t effect the wealthy; only pople living on shoe string budgets like us.

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.

So now its the Oil Patch’s fault for finding too much oil and gas?

No producer or seller in any market sets the price, willing and able buyers do.

Sure did see lots of “pople living on shoe string budgets like us” buying everything in sight these last few months.
