But, against the euro, as the dollar falls, hasn't there been something of a drop in the price of oil?

This is a myth that needs to be dispelled. The price of oil has also increased with respect to the euro, but not as quickly.

If I can find a good set of data, I'll do a price history diagram myself.

Re: LT Data (none / 1)

Thanks, but I wanted to go back further than 1998, and with some sweating... see the result.

Re: Meanwhile... (none / 1)

No, oil pricces rose faster. Even in the last 15 weeks. Say, using some simultaneous record days:

September 28th: €1 = $1.3979, crude oil (WTI futures) $82.38 = €58.93

October 18th: €1 = $1.4310, crude oil (WTI futures) $90.02 = €62.91

BTW, here is a chart from MEES of the development until 2004:
