If someone wrote it, you must believe it.
Over the past few years, during normal times, how many times have you heard about a shortage of fuel? You haven't. We produce enough fuel so the crap about increase demand being the culprit here is BS.
That dumb article might have been applicatory 15 years ago, but today there is a monopoly of sorts in the oil industry. All the industry needs is a remote excuse to artificially inflate the fuel prices even if that excuse doesn't come to fruition.
The fact that fuel prices can rise in anticipation of a hurricane or something happening with the war shows that there is something alltogether different than supply and demand controlling prices.
