I've said this before, but since consumption is going UP while prices also go up, it suggests to me that oil/gas is underpriced as a commodity. Severely. Basic market economics tells me so. Either that, or market pricing no longer applies to this particular commodity-- in effect, everyone thinks they must have it, so the producers can charge whatever they like...

And no, I have no idea what the tipping point, where people begin to consume less because the price is to high, will be (or even if there is one).
