30c a gallon drop in April 1997? Yeah, right. Statistics without support. 
Anyway, among the dumbest ideas known to man this has to be right up there! 
Credit where credit is due though. It's not your idea. You just snatched it 
from someplace else and cut/pasted it here without attribution and took the 
credit. So, I guess that means your only a plagiariser and a fool, not the 
maker of foolish notions.
