What is Crude oil futures demand? or its artificial manipulation?

Question

One of the concerns I have, about the high cost of gasoline, is its relationship to the cost of crude oil futures and the possibility that we face another Enron-type arrangement where the price of some stock or commodity is artificially held high by people manipulating the system.  Do I understand this correctly?  One can purchase crude oil futures, giving the impression that there is more demand than exists?  Or is it more complicated than that?
