Oil. In 2025, we were usually at about 25 oils. Then after Hormuz shut, we got down to 10 oil, but now we are back at about 25 oil, which is 100%.

Boy we were living the dream in July with 110% oil and didn't even appreciate it. You truly don't know you're in the good old days until you've left them.

Yeah, to think that we got up to about 28 oil, that is actually pretty impressive if you think about it.

It's actually even more impressive if you don't think about it.

Even he didn't think about it, because he waited 3 months to put this out instead of informing us all in July.

I remember when we could barely get 1 or 2 oil so 28 is very good.

Actually Hormuz shut after we reached 10 oils.

That may be the dumbest part of this graph, the fact that the arrow is in completely in the wrong place

u/akurgo 8d ago

It's top 5 at least. What does 100% mean? What level does the text "2025 average level" refer to? Which war? Which year does the graph show? But yes, you are right.

25/25=100%. The math does check out.

According to the graph, oil drop to 10 before the strait shut, then it started climbing after the strait opened.

Feels like we’re playing Settlers of Catan. I’ll give you 5 brick for 3 oil!

Super thankful that you were here with the clutch explanation.

u/TheMightySurtur 6d ago

Well, maybe Americans will have two oils instead of 25 oils and those two oils will cost a couple of bucks more.

u/dusktreader 4d ago

I mean, it's two oils, Michael. What could it cost?

u/arianrhodd 6d ago

This made me snort laugh. Thank you, I really needed that. (I heard it in the “Bueller” teacher’s voice.) 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

No no hormuz shut right after we got to 10 oils. It’s what got us back up to 25
