Putin has decried the recent plummet of natural gas and crude oil prices and has attempted to reach out to natural gas exporting countries to develop a cartel system similar to OPEC.

If the member states of OPEC decided to abolish the institution would that be better for the world economy. If there were no OPEC the market forces would set up Crude Oil prices. Each oil exporting country would be competing for the market.
Am I right in saying that without the OPEC the world economy would [...]
Crude oil prices are the major determining factor in the price of a gallon of gasoline. I think the government is investigating the wrong question. Not manipulation of gasoline prices by oil companies, but rather manipulation of crude oil prices by the market. Large investment companies are manipulating crude oil prices.
Now that the shape of the current crisis is becoming clear, so do some explanations. We can trace the banking crisis to unsound lending practices. We can make sense of food price inflation through increased demand from developing countries and rising transport costs. But the mad see-sawing of crude oil prices up to 140 dollars [...]

Crude oil has slipped a bit lately, yet gas prices continue to soar across America. Will gas prices ever go down because of the decrease in price or future price of crude oil? Why do gas prices not go down when crude oil prices go down?
"How does the current increase in global crude oil prices affect tourism both here and abroad. Expound on the advantages and disadvantages of this on-going phenomenon.
I have seen this several times already in media reports. They claim that limited refining capacity is partially to blame for increased (crude) oil prices. I can understand that refining capacity would affect prices at the pump, but how is it that it affects world crude oil prices? It would seem that [...]
If crude oil prices continue to fall and stay around a hundred per barrel, shouldn't airlines stop charging for check-in baggage? I could understand if you carry more than 2 check-in baggages but with just one check-in baggage… Wasn't that the main reason why airlines started charging for check-in luggage in the first place?
