OK, so I got the particular price point jump wrong, it’s still no less valid a point that the price spiked in double digits, on more that one occasion...in a matter of days.

Nor does it obviate that the present price of oil, has not only a 30 to 40 dollar war premium built in, but production and re4finery shortfall premiums built in, that farr exceede the lokely market reality, and that a precipitous price drop.,, is not such an outrageous thought, and that a mere less that $2 price fluctuation doesn’t mean a hill of beans to anyone other than speculators and day traders.
