I really can't believe why the price of oil is going for less than it costs to produce (Oil 0|0).
At the moment its going for 474 and the production price is 530. Why do people sell it for less than 530? 
Oil Prices

Good question - i haven't the answer. But one thing i must correct in your post. The production of oil costs between 614 to 688 (level 10/level 0 oil drilling derrick) per unit. And if you sell it as a raw material you must add the costs of storage and transportation, so the price of "oil level 10" must be above 641 to make profit.

Sometimes I'll sell the oil and take a loss on it. I do this instead of shutting down production because I want the manufacturing points. You get points that are proportional to the normal price of the product you produce.
You might ask why I don't tear down the oil derricks and build something profitable. Well, in speed I'm selling oil for 600, and over producing it. I'm going to produce electronics and I will need lots of oil. So, it would be foolish for me to tear down my expensive oil rigs now.

That is true, what Arboroia siad... the value of oil has gone down terrifyingly. Because of this I had to demolish my own oil rig. The expenditures were just to big. I still can't get rid of my last batch of oil that I sent onto the market.
