When my car's tank is empty, I glad that I can purchase more fuel. Those of you who got caught in the first oil crisis, will remember the flusteration of waiting in line to fill up, I think that it's better to let supply and demand work it's magic. If I don't drive to a job, I don't eat.
Oil is a commodity. There are lots of people in the world with money
to purchase cars and fill them up with fuel. That accounts for most
of the present pinch in supplies. Also, it's getting increasingly
expensive to produce oil. The companies are drilling wells in the
deep sea, and are developing oil reserves like the one in Canada
which was previously too expensive to exploit.
