Question 2

Discuss issues with supply and demand of fuel.

Accepted Answer

These supply and demand complexities has resulted in the price of crude increasing 113 percent between 2005 and 2008.During 2008 crude hit a high of $137.11 a barrel.And while the global recession has abated those price increases most are convinced that as the economies recover so will the price of crude.
