After reading your comment and I looked through the sources cited. Besides the initial source (i.e. linked article) being from a place I never heard, and the 'increase' in cost of oil purchased $74 → $76 (which, if I understand correctly, is a minor increase and doesn't seem to take inflation into account; without calculating or knowing my sense is that it's not meaningful) what part is 'fake news'? I'm trying to understand and I don't really get it.

The link and info stated in the linked article which links to Foreign Policy is legitimate from what I can tell. I skimmed it, and it seems completely in order.

I just looked up a few news sources on there, it's pretty much just the "always the same map" in searchable database form lol.

It’s a site which has no methodology whatsoever. Even Wikipedia mentions as much. It has been proven to be a complete joke on several examples. The site list CNN as some very leftist media outlet for crying out loud.
