      Probably not higher than historic peaks.

      Expect to see gas prices go up too, but not pass $6/gal unless shit gets real bad.

        Oil peaked at $147.27 in 2008, it will almost certainly go higher than that.

        Hey, by the way, did something else happen in 2008? I forget! 🤔

          Are you talking about the major hurricane that messed up a bunch of refinery capacity, or the housing bubble popping?

            Lehman Brothers went bankrupt 2 months after oil hit that record high. Something to think about.
