The article is heavily focused on prices whereas, according to the title, a reader might also expect to find information about production and consumption of fuels. Obvious topics:

• Total quantities of diesel oil, gasoline, jet fuel & etc. consumed annually.
• Distribution of production over the globe.
• Distribution of consumption over the globe.
• Evolution of consumptions over time.

Surely people following the economics have or can find the information. Regards, ... PeterEasthope (talk) 19:30, 19 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'm late to this discussion but I brought part of this issue up in 2016 and tried to gain some consensus on removing the outdated pricing information until one user insisted that the material would be updated regularly and it dragged on too long for me to care anymore. I would remove the information again but would probably be reverted again. To nobody's surprise the pricing remains outdated and horribly confusing.

Yes, petroleum economists are being awfully silent, ... PeterEasthope (talk) 18:49, 11 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed the outdated price list but if anyone reverts I will not bother to argue. Rather than trying to keep that list up to date it if anyone has time it would seem more important to update the USA general info. Chidgk1 (talk) 06:47, 14 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The graphs of price vs. time are an improvement. Can price be expressed independent of inflation? Regards, ... PeterEasthope (talk) 14:26, 23 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I will add a few back with prices, and I ask that anyone interested in editing this page work on that section. Thank you! Twillisjr (talk) 14:51, 8 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
