Current there is a increase in production ans well as a need to increase in US spending. OPEC and the Russians are the major producer ( Venezuela and Brasil the new big boys in the world. Gas is under a buck in both countries 13 cent in the Venezuela) of oil but our commodities market is the stock marketfor oil (it trades under our currency) the prices in based on they say supply and demand both are speculative at least supply is we can not control the production or type of oil produced but oil is traded backed the dollar (see above) ( oil company pay firms big money to firm to spec prices), since the barons who have oil know it only takes $2 USD to produce a barrel of oil it is all a big game where we the consumer looses. In short OPEC or the Russians slow production of sweet crude the only oil our refineries (sad they haven't spent a dime on tech but want us to foot the bill) can refine limit the supply (we all love or cars and trucks) and the price shoots up! Remember it was $4 bucks before the holiday season kicked in who can shop with $4 gas!!! :)
