No i don't agree with  Sharad here, the crisis was not fuelled by fuel prices but mainly by the major financial institutions and Banks, The current credit crisis which is affecting the US and all other nations certainly has a major cause in too much credit being served by banks and financial institutions, So according to me this led to the financial crisis than the rise in the fuel supply....

Yes i agree with sharad here, the economic crisis is purely created by the increase in the fuel prices. The present high levels of fuel prices which was 120 dollars a barrel has no relation to the cost of production. The fuel prices are purely market driven due to concerns over future supply exceeding demand. So for that matter a solution to the credit crisis is  to reduce demand for oil and increase production. When the supply exceeds demand surely the prices will fall. Demand for oil is increasing worldwide both from western countries and the emerging dominant nations like India and China while production is not increasing at a rate to meet the increased demand. So increase in fuel price was a major factor according to me.

According to me yes the Humongous increase in the fuel price was the one which led to financial crisis now, because Fuel and energy costs are a part of every product and service, and in recent times fuel costs have escalated to absurd proportions.

Reduce fuel costs and the consumer benefits from lower costs in petrol, diesel and by doing this business costs reduce through lower overheads and cheaper products. As a result demand from consumers can increase in line with increased disposable income and business profits stop heading downhill and confidence returns in the market which is very gloomy right now......

Oil is a natural resource one or the other day its going to finish then why not try to find out other means rather than to wait for the last minute. There will be a day when actually the price of oil would reach that high.
So you want general public to face the heat with high in inflation and these agencies had been getting aid from govt. also.
