One of the things to keep in mind is that the Saudi King was replaced in August 2005. The policies in place before August 2005 are not indicative of the policies in place post August 2005. Specifically, the concept of what is the fair price for a barrel of oil. In August 2005 the Saudi's view of the fair price of oil moved from $25 to $60.
The same man was in charge after August 2005 as was before August 2005. Crown prince Abdullah took over when King Fahd became incapacitated by a stroke in 1995. When the King died in 2005, Crown Prince Abdullah simply took the title as king. But he had been in power already for ten years.
No power changed hands in August 1995. Power remained in the same hands as it was before the king died.

Beng the guy who has the most influence while the king is incapacitated is not the same as being "The King".
