The interest of the oil companies is to maximize our demand while constraining their supply. That is the way to maximize profits.

The only people paying less are in countries that are net oil exporters, like Venezuela and Saudi Arabia, where the government subsidizes the local price compared to what they get from exports. Nobody pays more than we do.

I really think the oil companies are ambivalent about demand levels. They know demand is never going to substantially drop, so they know they are going to be making their piles of gold no matter what happens.
