Given the Venezuela shortfall in crude and refined products and the war uncertainties, I predict the following headlines in the next 6 months:
- 1. American consumers revolt about high pump prices.
- 2. American consumers demand price fixing and/or price ceilings.
- 3. Congress passes some form of a price cap or rollback.
- 4. American consumers complain of long lines at the pump, gasoline shortages, and possible rationing.
I thought I'd maybe save you some time, just having these all laid out for you when the time comes to print 'em. I believe No. 1 and No. 2 are on the verge of happening now.
Funny how history just keeps repeating.
