I remember one article about or perhaps NG - maybe both since they are linked. Anyway the comment was that pre-covid, producers were pumping a lot and the profit margin was really slim. They cut back drastically in 2020; and when demand started back and prices soared, the producers realized they were doing a lot better financially by limiting supply and cost. In essence they figured why work so hard for diminishing returns, and it's a limited supply market so the consumer has little ability to force change. We can't get on Amazon and buy a couple of hundred gallons of bargain gas from Mexico or Venezuela or wherever - and we can't even get the corn out of our gas so we get more miles per gallon.
