I live in America and that's what effects 99% of the members on this board.
The oil market is a global one. When demand increases in China or elsewhere it affects everyone.

Yes supply is way up in India and China just as steel and concrete are, Look at the historic costs of oil per barrel and pump price, it does not match does it?
What are you on about now? Are you able to construct a sentence that makes sense?

Your first post fooled me into thinking you are sincere but the second proves your just and idiot!
But only compared to such a beacon of light and knowledge, like you.

What is $70 - $20 ? Wow that's good margin for oil companies.
Again, your brilliance is so astonishing that I am not able to follow your complex mathematical mastery of global oil markets.

What's your wise crack now pal? Thought so nothing!
Peruse this post at your leisure and see if you can spot any. Forgive me for not responding immediately. I was out getting a rich oil tycoon drunk so that I could collect evidence to refute your brilliant arguments.

Put this one into your brain guy, Oil was down to $23.00 per barrel in 2003 and the pump price was $1.52 per gallon, so with a 2.6% increase of useage per year shouldn't our pump prices today be around $4.50 per gallon using your "supply and demand theory" ???
This is a stunning bit of analysis. Am I to understand that you studied at the London School of Economics?

Is this a little over your head now? Put that in your Cake Hole and eat it.
You are quite the salty n00b. Remember that you only get one chance to make a first impression.

Give this a try - See if you can wipe the foam off your mouth and put together a few sentences in which you state your opinion in some coherent manner. I'm betting that you can't. You may choose to do this with or without hurling insults at me, but either way supply, demand and speculation in the commodities market will continue to control oil prices on the global market.

All this from a guy who looks up to the Big Lebowski!
Well guys like me who buy $83K sedans really don't think about what the price of gas is, especially when my oil stock paid so well last year
Enjoyed the dialog with you! But you are clueless as how it works. Go to www.moronsask.com it might have the simple explanation for you.
Oh it's up again $2.99 in Denver!

I see that you cannot produce anything to support that rubbish you posted above. I knew that would be an easy bet to win.

Carry on.

Hey Big Lebowski if you would like to proceed with a debate regarding this issue I would be more than willing to "Carry On" via PM.
We don't need to waste board time on a dispute you and I have. I am a betting man as well!

Listen up n00b, we don't have a "dispute" going. You simply called me an idiot for calling bs on the unintelligible gibberish that you posted earlier. If you have something to say regarding the factors that control the price of gas/oil like supply, demand, commodity speculation, OPEC controls, etc., then feel free to post it right here. If you disagree with me, you can do it right here. People do that on here all the time. If you are going to disagree in the manner that you did though, then you have to be ready for the replies. Pretending that you are smarter than people and using lines like "stick that in your cakehole and eat it" will get you similarly written replies on here.

I don't know why you have such a problem with my avatar. That is the only dispute going and it is between you and a picture. Relax. This is a friendly place. I even like your car. [sm=icon_cheers.gif]

maket manipulation , but again there are dozens of factors that determine the price.
