I guess I see things alittle different since my economy is driven by oil prices. Over the last 20 years or so, I've watched the small oil companies get driven out of business and the big boys consolidate and pull out of town (or go overseas) because they couldn't compete with foriegn prices. The government refused tariffs that would have kept the local oil pumping. John Q Public was happy.

its funny since up here in alaska where we have some nicely sized oil reserves (not to mention ANWR), gas right now up here is like 2.14 for regular standard unleaded whatever you want to call it...but then again the more prices raise the more people might start looking for more economical cars instead of these massive 10 cylinder gas guzzling rollover happy SUV's

Article in today's paper says, that the reserves are being used up faster then new oil can be found. Oil pressure through out the world is increasing. China doubled it's oil usage last year, compared to 2001.
Out of 1.65 trillion barrels of oil found in last century, we have used 920 billions so far. It costs money to harvest the oil out there. With costs rising, other countries using more, political unrest, problems of deliveries due to natural and man made, along with shrinking supplies, prices will go up.
Not that I agree with all of it. But, this is one explanation giving in the paper by a 89 year old, oil expert.
