Agreed. And it is the same standard at the national level. But at the international level, the standard of collusion collapses. Thus, OPEC colludes on capacity in order to set a price and it is not illegal. OPEC is the lead player in a global oligopoly.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
