The demand is stable. But oil companies can (and have) cut back on production to artificially induce a shortage - aka... the supply goes down, so they raise the price (as if they were running out).

It's pretty much impossible to boycott the oil companies. This would require that you drive 0 miles per week, and buy nothing that has been transported by land, sea, or air.
But demand is going up, China and India are a big part of that by my understanding.
