Besides they need no justification to do so as radical as another war-- they just take a few refineries offline for "crucial maintenance", let their available inventory fall, supply and demand kicks in, and voila! instant profits.
In terms of this being a conspiracy, it doesn't even have to be done behind closed doors. Many think that the way to catch these monopolists is to find the minutes of a meeting where they all sit around and say, yeah let's do this, this and this. They are smarter than that. All they have to do is have their ops managers attend an industry event and some analyst speaking there that recommends x,y, and z to increase profits. Then they all do it. No conspiracy or back room deals to uncover. Its all for the seminar attendees to read, study and enact. Not rocket science.
