    As long as there is war, the price of oil will stay high. Airplanes, trucks, tanks and whatever else uses the fuel do so at such an alarming rate that there is no reason for oil companies to reduce prices. When the wars around the world end, the oil prices will come down. Reducing one's travel will have absolutely no impact on world crude oil prices.

    It's to bad even american companies are more worried about the cash, and getting paid, beofre upkeep or finding more to produce, but when a 1910 refinery works, eehh, some what? its still cheaper than shutting down, and updating to keep up with demand! As it is here where i live they are more concerned with the bottom line, and not upkeeping the facility, which later will cost twice as much to fix, then it does now!We are doing just the same with our natural gas well heads,pits,fencing,and upkeep on pipes underground and this is not a funny site to see when the well heads are 5 ft from a school playground! IT'S HAPPENED HERE BEFORE, THE WELL HEADS EXPLODING, NOT THE PLAYGROUND, NOT THIS TIME!!!! Upkeep and maint. and looking for more, cost money! The CEOs, Dicktators, rulers, head of the state, today, the money men, want in there pockets, cause the stock holder is happy "so what if the nation it's in is'nt, not my problem if there all dying for this"!! Now we know why GREED is one of the seven deadly sins, and our country is just a fkn guilty, as the next! So who is rightious now? This ain't restricted just to Mexico, or why would we be spending 12 billion a month, in a country which makes 60 BILLION a month in oil sales, and climbing!
