The combination of the Iranian revolution and the Iraq/Iran War resulted in crude oil prices more than doubling from $14 in 1978 to $35 per barrel in 1981. Twenty-five years later Iran's production is only two-thirds of the level reached under the government of Reza Pahlavi the former Shah of Iran. wtrg.com Now according to US gov't CPI, $35 in 1981 is $76.51 now. data.bls.gov Or we've just reached an inflaton adjusted panic peak price again. I wouldn't worry too much about rioting.
