Correct, it is at prices of $140 a barrel as it was in 2014 but the reality is that it is below $90.
The same thing happens throughout Europe too, absurdly high prices for no reason. Well, if there is a reason, you should buy an electric

				Fortunately our mileage has decreased dramatically since we both retired used to spend around £300 per month on fuelling both cars, now around £80 per month & neither vehicle is exactly economical, cannot see the price of fuel coming down either.

				Who knows what might happen, nobody saw oil at $10 a barrel in 2020.  :)
