Not to get into the middle of this or anything but according to the artical the US economy shrunk in the last quarter of '07 (down 0.2%), but grew in the first (0.9%) and second quarters (1.9%) of '08, right?

So one down quarter followed by two up quarters = ?

^^ well, it's still not official troll, it's 2 quarter in a row last time I checked, so technically Brit is right, even though a recession is very likely

Oh get a brain. The consumption from Chindia is increasing rapidly and, indeed has increased massively to date. Short-term, the resultant rise in oil price is being pared back by the collapsing US economy, however, when either:

Chindia's rising consumption outstrips US decline

or

US Economy recovers

The rise in price will continue. Unless production is increased significantly (and remember that has stagnated and marginally reduced since 2005).

And there's the rub. The 2008 production numbers are key. Unless the supply shows an increase from the 05/06/07 figure, we have to assume that they cannot increase production (based on the assumption that if you cannot increase at a time of a market price IRO $140/barrel, then you cannot increase production at all).

quoting just in case you re-edit your posts when nailed with lies and mistakes, like you did previously with that IEA thing,

your dishonesty knows no limit, usually the case with ignorant trolls

^And what is wrong with that?

The oil price will, naturally, rise, unless prodution increases to match demand. How difficult is that to understand?

The fact that demand from the US has reduced, due to the collapsing US economy, only delays this fact.

Priceless, you couldn't make that shit up, obviously you have no idea what is elasticity. Price elasticity of what, troll ?

This is the same as the price elasticity of food. Once the price goes beyond the level that can be afforded by total disposable income individuals riot (as has been happening) and companies collapse in part or whole, see airlines going bankrupt, or reducing their operations.
Quoting for posterity, so explain again why demand is going down since you were predicting that people will buy oil until they went bankrupt,

I don't see riots, I don't see people going bankrupt over oil, all I see, is a reduction in demand,

It is not possible to state this, as for a large part, new technology is required for the conversion to take place. This technology has yet to be invented, implimented or funded.
Another jewel for posterity, just in case you start claiming you were right all along and never said anything like that

So you have invented a replacement technology for mass use of oil then? I think we should be told!

Finished playing with you for today. Have to attend a meeting on 'collapse in demand'. I am sure that the delegates will listen to me a little more attentively than Butterfly.

I admit though that the new links he is posting are quite useful, but I have a RSS feed for that already, no need for a cute troll to do the same here
