Gas prices crashed from $4.85 to $2.15 per gallon due to Venezuela dumping 2.3 million barrels per day back into global markets after production surged from 400,000 to 2.7 million barrels daily through a $47 billion China-Russia-India consortium infrastructure investment. This temporary oversupply creates the same dangerous complacency seen before previous oil crises, where cheap prices reduce investment in production capacity while increasing consumer dependency on unreliable foreign supplies. Global oil investment has fallen from $780 billion in 2014 to just $425 billion in 2025 - 30% below the $600 billion annually needed to maintain current production levels - while aging oil fields decline 6-8% per year and demand grows toward 105 million barrels per day by 2030. The mathematical timeline shows gas prices rising to $3.25-3.75 by late 2027 as Venezuelan supply normalizes, then spiking to $6.50-8.50 per gallon by 2028 when supply shocks hit an economy that eliminated spare capacity during the cheap oil period. American households consuming 650 gallons annually will face an additional $3,152 in yearly fuel costs when prices reach $7+ per gallon, equivalent to a $3,000 tax increase on every family that adjusted their lifestyle around temporary cheap gas.
