      Sensible split of what was a too-long article

      Well, I for one am very pleased that this has been split away from the oil price rises since 2003 article. It makes much more senseto have two articles, one following every twist and turn of the price and what politicians are saying, and the other to look from further back and discuss the more long term underlying problems of energy supply in a constrained planet... We need to retain the linking between the two articles of course, but that is easily done. Well done, a long overdue fix. Mike

      I think this article should be expanded to include the price of oil in 2009 :P 203.36.44.13 (talk) 04:27, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

      I was disappointed to see that an article on the world oil market focused exclusively on price and supply concerns (major and minor panics). A part of the story worth telling is the simultaneous growth in emerging nations' consumption and the sharp decline in U.S. Consumption. Whitecheddar22

      Focus on United States

      Is there some reason we can't have an article just for U.S. gas prices? I was told I shouldn't add the details that I did to gasoline usage and pricing and that's probably correct.Vchimpanzee · talk · contributions · 15:20, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

      On that subject, how did I do? There may be too much detail, but I tried to include all the major milestones in 2010 and 2011.Vchimpanzee · talk · contributions · 16:04, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

      Vchimpanzee, I think you have done a great job. I also left a comment on the "Gasoline and diesel usage and pricing" talk page that you may be interested in reading. The comment includes my understanding of the differences between this article and the "Gasoline and diesel usage and pricing" article. Gfcvoice (talk) 03:08, 5 July 2011 (UTC)
      Thank you. I just tried to collect all the information I could.Vchimpanzee · talk · contributions · 16:20, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

      Proposed move

      ↑Jump back a section

      How much oil passes through the Strait of Hormuz?

      Source 1 says, "Iran has already threatened to retaliate by blocking the Strait of Hormuz at the entrance to the Gulf, through which 20% of the world's oil exports pass."

      Source 2 says, "In total, 35% of the world's tanker-borne oil passes through the strait."

      Both are BBC, so it's not like one is less reliable. I went ahead and used a source I had used for something else, until we can get this resolved. I suppose one explanation is that 15% of the world's oil is put on tankers not for export, but for shipping elsewhere in the gulf region. But then we use pipelines in cases like that.Vchimpanzee · talk · contributions · 21:21, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

      pre-2003? pre-1980?

      Is there a corresponding wikipedia page for this topic but for earlier periods? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.96.33.47 (talk) 19:39, 24 February 2012 (UTC)
