You can't deny, though, that global demand has been reduced in the past six months, as well. I'm not saying there wasn't speculation, but there's a good reason for prices to drop. And remember that the relation between supply/demand and price isn't linear. If demand only slightly exceeds supply, people will pay whatever it takes to get the gas they need. Who here reduced their gas use when it was $3.00? I didn't. That's part of why it went to $4.00. The price will continue to rise until demand equals supply - and China's demand, among others, has (or had) been steadily increasing for the past decade.
