Oil is tied to the dollar. But I think the companies also padded some more profit in there.
As for us using more. I don't use more. My daughter doesn't either. My son uses the same amount he did last year. People I know continue on the same track as far as work goes. And considering unnecessary travel, the idiots that travel at the drop of a hat have been doing it for a few years now. The only new consumption I can think of would be immigrants. And new drivers. No, Big Oil is making more than 10 cents per gal. Maybe that's all they
show they are making. That's why they hire bookkeepers.
