For what it is worth, I heard on the radio yesterday that it has NOTHING to do with supply/demand BUT that it is speculators ... this is NOT me saying this but repeating what I heard to answer your question.

If this is another speculation run, it's a good time to buy futures as the summer run-up hasn't started yet.

speculators
While they go kicking and screaming that it isnt them the proof is in the pudding. When gas prices fell from the stupid high prices a couple of years ago it has nothing to do with supply/demand. The stock market tanked.

Of course! Speculators (whoever the hell those are) don't have anything at all to do with supply and demand! They're just playing around in a really thinly-traded market to drive things around and big multinational oil companies are at their mercy.
