From 1879 right through WWI and WWII through 1969 the price of oil was around $20/barrel (corrected for inflation). Take a look at this plot
formatting link
From 1985 through to 2002 it was $20 to $30/barrel it's only since then that it has shot up, note that graph peaks at $60 in 2007, this year it more than doubled that to over $140. $140 is almost *5* times the price for the 17 years '85 - '02.
I fully expect those plots don't tell the full story but it shows how the price of oil has gone meteoric in the last few years. The oil producing states where doing very nicely thankyou at $30, thing how they are doing at $60 or $120. There is one helluva lot of (our) money swilling about somewhere? Or is it just getting sucked into the monetary blackhole created by speculators on other over valued materials?
