... if the price of oil keeps going up and it is not due to money supply, is that inflation?


My best answer is "maybe", based on the time lags between money creation and the effects on prices. But if I'm tracking with you, it'll be much more likely that future oil price increases will be based on supply & demand or sentiment factors like expectations of war than money supply/inflation.

My actual opinion is that most of the increases up to about 2006 were mostly inflation and "catch up", and since then have been more "peak oil" and supply & demand based.
