Jingus, I was referring to global demand, not US demand. Oil is a global commodity, and I haven't seen anything predicting that global demand is going to be slowing down anytime soon--which is part of the reason why it's crucial for the US to shift away from an oil economy. Even if we do cut back consumption considerably, demand from China, India, & other industrializing nations (along with the dwindling supply or "peak oil" that most analyses I've seen point to--although it could be wrong, I dunno) is going to keep prices high.
