Actually, I might pay to see that.

LOL!

I couldn't find your old post, but weren't you telling me about rumors that some American oil companies exacerbated the oil crunch by not operating at capacity, or something like that? I found this tidbit corroberating that notion in a discussion of the Arab oil embargoes in The Great Wave:

"...Blair points out that the crisis became more severe because it came on top of an artificial domestic shortage that had been deliberately created by the Exxon corporation and other major corporations, who were trying to break the competition of discount dealers in the United States and independent Libyan suppliers. This conjunction of events set the stage for a virtual explosion of prices."
