You lost me here. Are you really saying that a drop in consumption could cause an increase in price as opposed to an increase in price causing a consumption drop ?

If the marginal buyer (i.e. lowest reservation price) drops out of a market, the profit-maximizing price could go up depending upon the specifics of the supplier's marginal cost curve.
