It's a classic conspiracy theory.
Sky high prices but 20% reduction in petrol sales= less tax for government and less profits for oil companies.
Solution - engineer strike to create vision of shortages supported by government telling public not to panic=public panic buying and accepting sky high prices.
Bingo, sales and tax go up, public accept high prices for foreseeable future.
