That's what caused $4 gas, not supply/demand. Get an education
please.

Please explain the drop from $140/barrel to $34/barrel when the demand

Concurrent with congress announcing that they were going to
investigate why oil prices were rising while demand was dropping and
supply was increasing.

That's not a commodity market. They were trading contracts as

There were many investment banks and large funds investing in oil
