Hi All, I'm new here so I will try to keep to my P's and Q's. The market drives prices either up or down. As long as oil is traded on the market and someone can make a profit by buying and selling then it's going one way or the other. Consumption is the only way we can fight this. Drive a cheap to operate car and drive less. Everything we use today is made from oil. Plastics for the puters, coke bottles, your toothbrush and the plastic squezz tube the paste is in. The point I am trying to make is the LESS we use the MORE we will have and that will somewhat drive the price down. We can not do anything about China but we can stop the flood of Chinese materials into the US by not buying them. I REFUSE to buy anything made in China. I will do without first. If everyone would do this then it will only help us. Just my two cents worth.... Joe:o
