I believe what controls the price of oil, is the quality, and quantity. And by this I mean, you obviously see that the cheaper the oil, the cheaper the price, and vise versa. But by quantity I mean oil is an nonrenewable resource. As you should know, oil is created by the condensing of fossils over an access amount of time, A.K.A centuries. So once we start losing a lot of oil, the prices go up, just as any price would go up on something if the something were at a minimal amount. I aslo believe that we will not run out of the oil, but the oil companies are making you believe that we so that they can explain their high prices with that accuse, when their really cheating you out.

There was a time when the organization called OPEC, was a group of oil producing nations that were almost always in agreement regarding the amount of petroleum that would be produced and what the price per barrel of oil would be.
