I think that the elections might have something to do with it, You know the oil companies want to see those profits continue...
Maybe they ran out of condoms to wear while they screw us.

well... the question is are they dropping relative to supply and demand...
it's dropping like A ROCK... but is supply dropping that much... and are all the "discoveries" having this large of an impact, even though they haven't even started to affect actual supply/demand?
it seems a little odd... usually prices drop much slower than they go up... but magically the bottom has fallen out of the prices now?
I'm sure there's no coincidence... ;)

properly, as I carry both an economics degree and an English degree, enable me attempt to describe 2 issues to you. a million) convinced provide and demand do impression the cost of a sturdy or service. do no longer ignore, besides the undeniable fact that, that authentic provide and demand function surely in an open, organic marketplace. An open, organic marketplace is a pretend, made up international used to describe provide and demand to scholars. Economics also teaches that persons make judgements contained in the marketplace when they have all the counsel attainable on a topic (proper - I see that, oh, in no way). Economics also explains that outdoors aspects can impression organic provide and demand and administration expenditures. possibly you missed the area about provide shocks (actual or made up), monopolies, oligopolies, pretend counsel getting into the marketplace; or a simulated marketplace created with the help of authorities coverage. 2) Why straightforward provide and demand do not artwork the following: a) Gore v. Bush 2000. gasoline expenditures leap for no reason. Bush claims its by using Clinton administration lack of means coverage. Gore suffers contained in the polls. b) Bush receives elected in 2000. gasoline expenditures miraculously drop. Bush administration delivers drilling rights to grease businesses in US preserves. c) Bush administration is going into Iraq. expenditures leap, yet administration says, sorry, no longer something we may be able to do about it. d) 2006 Bush administration sees GOP applicants, weeks from elections, are in a not straightforward strive against with the favourite public. besides the very undeniable reality that gasoline expenditures had persevered to upward push by 2006, they miraculously drop, for no reason, basically as elections close to. Bush/GOP are both the luckiest sobs contained in the international or Bush friends from the Texas oil fields (the position replaced into he governor back) help them out ever a lot every time they want it. no one is that fortunate (yet another area of an econ. degree replaced into probablility idea).

When there is a perception that oil might become short in supply, the price goes up because of trading on the open stock market. The reverse trend is also true. You might find this informative...

Hey moron the economy is slowing down ( demand down) summer driving season over(demand down), Gulf states gave leases to oil drilling in the gulf (supply up), and the pipeline in Alaska is no longer an issue (supply up) and hurricane season is almost over (supply up).....
Let's add that up; (Demand down*2) +(supply up *3)= lower cost
What don't you get?
