Who Profited From Oil Prices

[bowtieguy]

after fuel prices were cut in half(and now have rebounded a bit), it begs the question: who really controls them?

we know several factors are involved: price of oil, speculators, wars, profit margins, and supply/demand to name a few. but this article, by a source NOT known to be conservative, puts MOST of the blame/credit on the consumer.

i suspect OPEC and speculators(controlling oil prices) are next in line leaving oil companies, really just as previously thought, simply on a ride as record usage produced record profits.
