Interesting take on the oil situation.

cato.org

"No Need to Panic over Oil Prices..."

".... In the meantime, don't worry about another oil-induced recession. Adjusting for inflation, oil prices in 1973 stood at $90 a barrel. So we've got a long ways to go before prices approach those of the 1970s in real terms. Moreover, the economy is far less vulnerable to oil-price shocks today. Whereas 9 percent of the GDP was spent on oil in the 1970s, only 3 percent is so spent today. Oil prices are simply unable to wreak the amount of havoc in today's economy that they could in the economy of 20 years ago. "
