... Your president is business partners with those men. He owns large shares in the company himself, and is getting rich from the gas prices...
Anyway, to the OP: you can't boycott it, you need it, the world needs it. That is why they can do whatever the fuck they want with it. A American businessman warns the Saudi government that spending $1,000,000 USD on a single party in one day instead of investing in the countries infrastructure for the future is a bad idea, and they will be left with nothing, their response; raise oil prices so they WILL have enough money...
Seriously, there is no valid reason been given why oil really has to rise. It is not getting harder to get just now, or anything. Leaves a lot up to speculation.
I got a motorbike myself, a tiny small one. It costs about $3 USD to fill the tank and that will get me about 30 - 40 km or something. SE Asia is not stupid like the west, where everyone must have a car. They dont complain about the cost of running a car, they just get motorbikes, and now there is literally a horde of them on the road.
