I'm trying to think of something that doesn't cause oil to go up. I'm stumped.

Supply causes it to go up ... other energy sources would cause it to go up [even without the demand, prices would go up to allow the same profit]. Now matter what the situation ... oil prices go up.

Heck, if minimum wage kept up with the increase rates of inflation and oil, we'd have much, much, less poverty.
