264It may be difficult to disentangle any impact here from the potentially much larger impact of the price of petroleum on oil use and imports especially if, as some believe, the recent sharp rise in the price of petroleum continues.

BU9, and Agis Salpukas, “An Oil Outsider Revives a Cartel,” New York Times, October 24, 1999, pp. BU1, BU16. See also Joseph Romm and Charles Curtis, “Mideast Oil Forever,” Atlantic, April 1996.
