Souwdy arabica was dumping excess oil into the market to drive the price down and chase away all the oil sands and shale producers, which would eventually allow them to monopolize the market again.

Problem was, we lasted longer than they expected and they started running out of money and rolls Royce's.

They started caving and allowed the price to go back up so they could afford to pay their harem girls.
That jacked up the price which may cost us a little more at the pump, but is good for the gubmint and good for the economy.

*as long as it doan go up much mo'.
