Why did oil prices go up so much during Bush’s administration? And why did it go down so much recently?

Peter J asked:


I’ve heard about the concept of Prime Oil, but that would only explain oil price’s rise, and not it’s recent decline. Even Greenspan made a comment about the price of oil being linked to the Iraq War. But if we are buying oil from Iraq at a cheap price, shouldn’t that create the opposite effect?

HandsOnCelibacy asked:


A little while ago, crude oil prices were plummeting with the price of the euro. Now the euro and pound are rising but crude oil prices are falling. Can someone explain the seeming contradiction? Why are oil prices falling?
SDD, crude oil prices indeed fell over a course of a few days. They have recently risen though. I suggest you recheck the US markets over the past week or so–your comment is inappropriate.

Meteor Crater Boy asked:


The Democrats may pull out of Iraq and ease tension in the Middle East, but what will they do about the slumping dollar (half of the problem)?
The Republican’s foriegn policy means increased “geo-political tensions” for oil but perhaps kick the economy into gear.. but that would mean increased consumption……
It is very complicated, with hurricanes and all. With oil prices high now, what if anything can the elected do for this problem world-wide????

Is it possible to predict gas prices by looking at crude oil prices?

charchar88 asked:


I’ve heard the gas price trend closely follows the crude oil trends but gas prices are a little slower. So is it possible to predict a rapid rise in gas prices say 2 weeks before it actually happens? Like if you see oil prices going up how long would it take gas prices to follow? days or weeks? How does this all work?

Will Obama lift the oil drilling moritorium, or allow oil prices to destroy the American economy?

T-Bone asked:


Gasoline, diesel, and fuel oil prices will continue to rise, Obama/liberals are single handily choking off American oil production with his moratorium on drilling. Didn’t liberals learn that rising oil prices killed the Bush economy in 2007/2008.

Oil prices are at record lows. Why are gas prices rising? Is it due to the holiday or something else?

Have you noticed that when the Boone Pickens plan was revealed, oil prices started their continuous drop?

Lincoln6 asked:


The rise in oil prices was again and again connected to Oil Brokers, “Worry & Concern” about anything and everything. Since the plan was revealed, regardless of what happens, the Brokers haven’t worried about anything. Did Big Oil give them Prozac?
I’m not interested in opinions about whether you think the plan is good or bad.
