The thing that annoys me is that the oil producers are crying about how it is getting more expensive to find and extract oil. Every few weeks there is a 'crisis' somewhere and the price goes up. Question is how critical are these crisis? Are they just beat ups to push the price up? Smells like a con job to me.
