0.67%, not terrible, right?

Everybody still seems to think some sort of inevitable taco is going to happen.

But I mean, from all the oil analysts and others that we've spoken to and all of the others, the amount of storage, like the storage has dried up in the Gulf.

They already had to cut production.

Iran can continue to suffer.
