"You think they planned on having that leak?" No, but they wasted no time in jacking up prices across the board. Funny how prices jump up instantly, but it takes weeks to come back down.

Prices are set by bid, just the same as for other globally traded commodities. No one in the oil companies just "jacked" them up, it happened in the trading pits.
Supply and demand.

No, but they wasted no time in jacking up prices across the board If oil companies can "jack up the prices" whenever they want, why do they need a leak as an excuse? Why would they ever drop the price?
