I didn’t mean that the raw material was the only price point… but that refined oil is a market that is a level playing ground. if today we ‘buy’ from the oil reserves of others, our future reserves will be bought from (and at forecasted and assumed higher prices), but not the actual driving factors of the market (and assuming only that to be the raw material). If oil production gets to crucial levels, we can turn to our reserves and internalize the start to finish production process. I agree with that. I get why people wouldn’t understand the term buy in this instance because its not as though you are walking down to the local store, its all on a large worldwide scale that works extremely different than most people realize. We’re on the same page here, I just thought you were saying that the raw material was the major determining factor of the price of oil. Carry on sir. :bigok: --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/143-days/199552)._
