With the U.S. shocked into recession mode - into which it seemed to be heading in any case - and airlines cutting back dramatically on their jet-fuel consumption, world oil demand has taken its steepest drop since the early 1980s. What's more, the oil producers still can't get their act together. This month, opec decided to cut back production by 1.5 million barrels a day - but only if non-OPEC countries trimmed back...
