I don't believe I said anything about what caused the oil crisis. I did say that conservation measures that Carter encouraged helped to bring the price down, along with competition between oil-producing countries. As you say (if I read you correctly) the sudden shortgages and the dramatic increase in gasoline prices may well have been deliberate or tacit policy by major oil companies. Or, as my mother-in-law blandly put it, "As soon as the price went up there was plenty of gasoline." The point I was making was that Carter is an intelligent and practical-minded person and that his remarks about the present troubles of Clinton seem level-headed.

If you want to discuss the price of oil, there's a thread on that which I started quite a while back, but given the current extremely low price levels, no one seems much concerned with the issue.
