By the way, are you sure that gas prices are not at a high, in terms of inflation-adjusted dollars?

I'm not totally sure about oil. I am pretty sure about gasoline. Gasoline was (after adjustment for inflation) over $3/gallon in 1981, but not over $4/gallon (the average in the US now is $4.046 according to gasbuddy.com )

The question is, then, why do you have the Saudi government saying that there is no reason for the current high price of oil?

Did they say that?

I only saw "The kingdom will work to ensure there will be no "unwarranted and unnatural oil price hikes", which is not the same thing.

"We will work to ensure that X doesn't happen", doesn't equal "X has happened".
