Well, let's see if Congress can do this for oil and gas.
Gas will cost $2/gallon on Tuesday, rise to $11 by Friday, and then fall to $4 over the weekend. People will spend more time driving around looking for bargains.

(So you bought that big vehicle and now want to whine about how much it costs to fill it? Seriously?)

It’s a lot easier to avoid high priced onions than avoid fueling your vehicle to go to work. Apples and oranges IMO.

only to crash 96% by March 2008 on overproduction
That number cannot possibly be right. To use made up numbers, if onions went for 50¢/pound, and shot up to $2/pound (400% increase), and then fell 96%, that would mean 8¢/pound. The farmers wouldn't even bother shipping at that price point. I find that many of these reporters don't known how percentages work.
