There is no shortage of oil, obviously.<\/p>\n<p>While people like to blame the oil companies and the gas stations, the real answer is a bit more complicated. Part of it is the logistics of getting oil into tankers and shipping them to customers. The other is speculators. It\u2019s the latter that can cause oil prices to climb. They\u2019re buying futures and the middlemen are betting that there will be a shortage. The best way to ruin the arbitragers is to put so much oil out there that even they can\u2019t force the prices up.
