Another factor in Oil is the value of the Dollar if anyone cares to notice as the Dollar falls in value the price of oil goes up and as the dollar goes up oil goes down. Be very careful my Democrat friends by Bernaki and the fed buying our debt it will weaken the dollar and send oil and other commodities higher look for $4.00 a gallon gas and thank the fed and our President for helping wall street in the short term and nobody in the long term.

Another factor: The buying decisions by many 100 million consumers or their inability to say no (much less buying) to prices they deem are too high. Does it not tell you that valuation will change if other expenses (luxury items, eating out, vacation travel) are cut back to be able to buy mostly unchanged amounts of motor fuel?

Definitely, oil company profits are what drives the market. Example, since the explosion in the Gulf of Mexico, the prices for heating oil and gasoline have jumped considerably. The oil companies have raised the price of oil that's already here (and refined). It happens all the time - they jump on any excuse to raise the prices: it's cold - let's raise the price of heating oil, it's holiday time - let's raise gas prices when everyone is travelling. Obama said taxpayers will not be footing the bill for the clean-up. How stupid do you think we are - we most certainly will be paying for the clean-up; maybe not thru our tax dollars but thru higher prices at the pump and to heat our homes.

Costumer preference! The willingness of millions of customers to rather cut back on other expenses than not buying expensive gas has de facto led to a revaluation of currencies' purchasing power.

I think the government. Just like in other products I believe they either pay to not produce oil or just don't use certain wells to inflate the prices. I have friends who get dividend checks for oil but if 100 barrels isn't pumped from their wells they don't get paid. Here is the problem, when gas prices are high they don't get paid because I believe their wells arent being used.
