Trick stuff, but it all points to a great outlook for anyone who loves to drive!
Back during the last run up in price (3 years ago?) I recall reading an interview with a Saudi prince or king and he said oil should currently (then) be, as you say, $85 per barrel. At the time, iirc, it was around $105 maybe?
