The American magazine The National Interest. wrote in the last issue about the fact that in the USA there is a contradiction between consumers of petroleum products and their manufacturers.
Ordinary people, seeing a significant reduction in the price of gasoline began to buy up large and voracious machine pickup. However, the magazine says this behavior is not foresight. After a permanent increase in the price of oil, and therefore gasoline, to keep this car will be very expensive.
At the same time, American manufacturers of petroleum products are interested in a high price for their products, otherwise their activity becomes unprofitable.
