I understand Supply and Demand. But what part of that is driving the oil prices up? There is plenty of Oil, and the Oil companies are making Billions per Quarter, then how can they be allowed to keep raising the prices. BP caused an increase in oil prices when their pipeline burst. When the pipeline gets fixed, will the prices go down? They make it look like the amount of oil is decreasing so they may raise the prices but come on, our governmant needs to step in someday. Back to BP, how is it going to take a month plus to fix a 16 mile strech of pipe that lays on top of the ground. They made hundreads of billions of dollars last year. Thats not enough to speed things up?
