    a) Gasoline demand is not oil demand

    b) The major driver of worldwide oil prices is not growth in US demand. It's growth in demand elsewhere

    c) You are a tool

    • Kaak, you are willfully ignoring some basic economic truths. The oil market is global. You cannot simply consider US demand. It doesn't work that way. You have to consider global demand (as well as global supply, which is impacted by OPEC, for instance).

      Read the Slate article I posted.

        • Arrian, yeah yeah. Either way, KH said US demand had increased significantly in the last couple of years, and he was talking out of his ass. I'm content

          • Apparently oil demand has nothing to do with gasoline prices and oil demand in Asia has nothing to do with oil prices in north america.

            Kaak, you are honestly one of the dimmest people to post on Apolyton.

                  • First off, you're not considering the entire scope of "US demand" - you omit oil (heating oil, etc). That impacts the price too. Further, considering only domestic demand is just... ignorant. Stupid, even, at this point, because your ignorance has been pointed out... repeatedly.

                    edit: History degree here, although I started out econ. But this does not require an econ degree to understand! This is basic... Econ101 type ****.

                        I was talking to a friend of mine a few days ago. She was *****ing about high gas prices. She lives with her boyfriend and they both are graduate students in physics, so they both work at the same place.

                        I had seen both her car and his car parked outside every day for the past week.

                          • Heating oil? oooh, because a) it has been a very hot year, with a mild winter and b) the NE gets discounted heating oil from Venezuela.

                            But that's not the point. The point is that KH was busted talking out of his ass.

                              Oh but is *is* the point. Or rather one of many points - flaws in your "logic."

                              Any moron can cherry-pick statistics to "prove" a point, if they blithely ignore anything that doesn't fit into their theory. Hell, Bush does it. Case closed.
