Oil Futures Instantly Capitalized, Exploited by Retail Activity and A Loaf Of Bread

What is it exactly about oil, gas that demands we treat it with an illogical compact than we do quite frankly with any other aspect of our replicative needs of the Human Condition?

Why is it that any speculative activity on oil futures is instantly capitalized and exploited by retail activity and we tolerate and accept it's phenomena as sensible, within our practice of stable Political-Economy?

Imagine a loaf of bread experiencing the type of Political-Economic activity oil has been expressing recently as economic realization.  Imagine the speculative activity on grain futures instantly capitalized and exploited by the retail activity of a loaf of bread.  Imagine the grain industry explaining itself with the logic that Farmer Browns cows broke out of their stalls and trampled Farmer Greens grain fields so your bread seller is at liberty to penny ante price gouge bread buyers.
