simple little world then. Do you think that maybe it has just a little bit to do with the industrialization of 1.5B people in China and India? Maybe a little to do with the fact that it is quoted in a currency that has dropped in value considerably in the last 3 years? Or maybe something to do with the cost of recovery of oil is going up sharply?

It's not a simple problem, there are hundreds of factors, if you keep your eyes closed and say it's the mean oil people screwin everyone one that may keep things nice and neat for you, but you turn your back to a large complex reality out there.
