Looked up the all time record price for WTI.

according to the net sifter:

The highest market price ever recorded for West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil was $147.27 per barrel in July 2008. This historic peak was driven by intense speculation and fears regarding peak oil supply. Other sources indicate peak spot prices around $145.31 during that same period in 2008.

According to the BLS inflation calculator, that $145.31 print is equal to $214.86 now.

Bubblevison's current quote for WTI just cracked $118.00, with Brent flipping around the same price, give or take a few cents.

*****BREAKING NEWS******

God on Earth, Trump the Great and Powerful, says it's worth it to beat up Muslims for Israel.

Oil surges above $110 a barrel; Trump says ‘small price to pay’ for defeating Iran

Shortly after oil blasted past $100 at the open of trading Sunday evening, President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social that a gain in “short term oil prices” was a “very small price to pay” for destroying Iran’s nuclear threat.

“Only fools would think differently!” Trump added.

Whether the base believes that, or not, only matters if there is a "free and fair" election next fall.

Trump vows legislative blockade until SAVE America voter-ID bill is passed

President Donald Trump threatened to withhold his signature from any bill that reaches his desk until Congress passes a controversial election measure known as the SAVE America Act, which would make it much harder for many Americans to vote.

“It must be done immediately. It supersedes everything else. MUST GO TO THE FRONT OF THE LINE,” Trump said in a Truth Social post on Sunday. “I, as President, will not sign other Bills until this is passed.”

Trump the Great and Powerful has spoken. Tremble at the greatness of God On Earth Trump.

in the time it took me to compose this post, WTI has already fallen back to $116 and change. See? No worries. But you should be eager to sacrifice everything you hold dear for the greater glory of the Trump.

WTI front month actually printed 119.48 before falling back.

With half the wells in the Gulf getting ready to be shut in, it doesn’t seem likely we’ve reached the peak of this price run-up.

When the Bush junta was in charge, I could buy big oil in late January, ride it up to Memorial Day, and book a nice profit.

We aren't even close to Memorial Day, when USians go nuts on the road, on this go around.

Then we have a mutually-accepted solution.

MAGA holds Spankee as "dear", therefore they are EAGER to sacrifice him for "greater glory".

Mayan temple sacrifice? Drop him into an active volcano? Biblical sacrifice (which one?)?
