Monkey brained simple planning by the oil companies "should" have taken all the data into account so that they would have capacity to handle that consistent increase. Since they seem to not have planned for it, one has to ask why they haven't. I presented information as to why they haven't.

My point is that ther HAS been a huge increase. When our increase alone in more than what everyone but 2 other countries use that's A LOT. Also that's 22% increase since 1990. Your math skills suck.
And ther HAS been a huge increae in demand. Why in the fuck do you think gas is $3.60 a gallon?
Hmmm let's see
2007 20,698,000 barrels supplied daily
2004 20,731,000 barrels supplied daily
So we have LESS supply than we did 3 years prior and you wonder why gas is so high?
