The increase in overall oil demand (maybe 20%) should not have lead to provide going from $10 in late 90s to $150 last year.
AND BTW oil price stayed static at around $25 a barrel, till the late 90's because there was some regulation. Then it jumped, and pretty much stayed higher ever since.
Fck knows where you get the idea that $10 is normal.Hang on - there is actually a place called Cheddar?? - cailin maith

85-99 it was around $20, in 1997/98 it dropped down to $10 - just as I said.
$20-30 was normal, OPEC did not want it to go past $40 because it would have lead to development of alternative fuels, unfortunately dollar's weakness and speculators pushed oil and other resources to ridiculous levels.Comment

Snaw thinks that suddenly all the Chinese bought 7 litre V8 monster trucks and it isn't to do with cheap money speculating on oil futures.
I'm glad the "brain drain" is taking snaw out of the UK pool of intellect.Comment
