Erm, commodities trading AND increased demand from India and China plus aging oil infrastructure AND the falling dollar are all creating the oil price increases. India is building the worlds largest highway network since our inter-states were built right now. Do you think they are riding bicycles? Anyone who thinks there is more oil to be had out there needs to look in the mirror, it is a FINITE resource people... it will not last forever though we are hardly about to run out. But we need to place some of the blame on our own bloated and wasteful culture. Driving around in the trucks we use is stupid and now those who bought into the whole SUV culture will pay the price. Too bad. For thousands of years humanity has built houses, traded, grown crops, raised families, traveled and lived their loves without the auto much less the big truck.
