Yea, Im on your side. Plenty of ideas to blame on. I have understand about oil business history, especially the great oil crisis back in 1970's where Richard Nixon made huge mistake by taking over control on oil price, it went really out of control, this time it is much less out of control than back in 70's.
The only real way for oil price to drop is that majority of motorist would use alternative fuel. Not many of us are willing due to the cost! I am one of them, not willing to pay for another vehicle with alternative fuel.
But think this way, once Hydrogen fuel cell becomes common, the oil price will drop like a huge rock would!
George Bush have had authorized millions of dollars on Hydrogen Fuel cells. Don't you know that?
Now, look at other hand, Milk price have shot up, know why? These stupid ethanol refinery now needs more corn, and cause shortage of corn supply end up push the milk and other diary products price upward faster than usual.
