it especially wouldn't work since the only people who'd see a drop in sales are the gas station owners. they'd still be placing the same order for another tanker truck full of petrol each month from the suppliers. there is no easy way out of this mess we're in, and most americans just aren't willing to do what it takes.

it's not really that simple you know. the market really does set the price. of course, since the late 1970's the OPEC nations have kept the prices stable by ramping their production up and down depending on the demand. they've really been smoothing out the bumps for us, and they do it because they're able to make more money that way. know what I mean? if the global economy is stable, then oil producers see steady growth in demand for oil and steadily make more money without raising the price. if they force the price to go up then the entire world economy is affected, causing demand to fall, resulting in oil producers making less money. The Arabs in power who actually control oil production care way more about making money than giving anyone a hard time.

very important point: The reason OPEC nations have so much control over world oil prices is because they are the only nations able to increase production. All other large oil producers in the world are essentially producing as much oil as they can. (given the current oil ( ... )
