[QUOTE="bbsam, post: 950239, member: 22662"] No. It is about maximizing the profit. You can't view this as as a "free market". Oil companies have a consumer that can be tapped for several more decades, but it takes market manipulation. They only let demand drop to the level where maximum profits are obtained. Demand drops below that, cut back on profuction but always keep them coming back. Economy stalls? Drop the price. Simple. [/QUOTE]
