More oil? less speculation? increased supply?

But the price does not go down.
Speculators and the oil companies themselves control the price.
To gouge the most out of all of us, everywhere, as often as they can..


They will keep the price high as long as we continue to be addicted to it.

1. They're still an OPEC nation
And any commentary complaining about manipulation of oil prices that doesn't mention that fact is disingenuous at best.

2. I agree
The price of gas is manipulated no matter what the price of oil drops to. We will never see the cheap gas prices of the past, not as long as someone can make huge profits by manipulating prices, speculators can continue to jack up prices, and nobody stops them!
