the conti prices arent going up and the amount of oil based products continental buy yes it is a seperate division of the company but it will take it from the plc's stocks

And Maxxis is part of Exxon Mobil. Just because they're owned by oil giants doesn't mean they can magically get free oil, they still have to pay for it.

blackchilli is not as oil based as its a synthetic rubber

That's actually some of the dumbest shit I've ever read. Think synthetic rubber's so special? Synthetic rubber is more common than natural rubber, and it's derived from petroleum. If anything this makes it more vulnerable to oil price fluctuations, as natural rubber is derived from latex.
