And these wild swings are horrible for us.

And we don't want that.

And so when the president says, well, I want...

Oil at $50 a barrel.

Well, that puts intense pressure on our sort of golden goose, which is the shale industry, you know, because we actually need $65 a barrel.

But I think when we're in that range.

Exactly.

Exactly.

And anything above 90 is horrible, too, because, you know, nobody's going to invest in these wild pricings.

I mean, today's a good example.

We're up $10.

We're down $10.

It's hard for us to plan for that.

And above 90, our prices for production go up as well.

So the Goldilocks zone is there in that 70 to 90, which that translates into that $2.95, $3.15 a gallon for gas.

And that's where people seem to be able to function well.

To your point, though, sorry, but to your point, is what can be done to immediate relief?

Keep in mind that the price of crude is one portion of what you're paying at the pump.

The federal and the state and local taxes are the other.

And California adds another $1.65 on top of it.
