Perhaps this partially answers your question:
http://europe.theoildrum.com/node/3106
It has graphs showing the price of a barrel of oil in various currencies.
You can see how the price in the US jumped from $50 a barrel to almost $100
a barrel over the past year, for a 100 percent increase.
In contrast, the price in Euros went from 40 a barrel to only 65 or so, for
a 63 percent increase.
The price in Canadian Dollars went from $60 to $88, for a 47 percent
increase.
