No you claimed standard oil drove prices up after gaining a monopoly.
But the data show a lower average price
Which means on average they didn't have the ability to price above market rates. Competition kept them in some kind of check even with 90%
If you're seriously arguing that lower than market prices is a sign of pricing power you're retarded
