5. Here's the problem. The lower gas prices are from Trump drawing from the gub'mint oil reserves.

Those reserves are now depleted. The "peace" is going in the shitter. If it does get a restart, the projection is for months to clear the strait from the mines that were dropped. Iran was just sinking mines and has no idea where they are.

I do not expect $3.09 per gallon to last more than a month. My projection is based on the thoughts expressed in interviews by the Chairman of Chevron.

Your thoughts?
