I think for the U.S. there are other factors that contribute to it. Yes, it has gone up a lot but also remember the $ is weaker than ever in its history. Simply stated, it takes more $s to buy the stuff.





I humbly disagree. Oil is traded in US $ so the strength of the $ makes no difference as there is no exchange rate involved.

It is also very clear to Mexico and Canada that we have no will to exploit our own oil. ... No, I didn't get confused, most of our oil does not come from the middle east.




Interesting info.
