It's too strong yes, but the game needs an endgame place to put oil.
I have said for about a year to halve the units that oil replenish and thus reduce the value (and therefore price) of oil. But we would still see oil jump with that, they would stack up more evenly with other forms of jumps tho.

If there is no endgame use for oil, however, there will not be enough volume to wage war without everyone making oil rainbows, which defeats the purpose of the market and specialization and thus EE as a whole and we should all go play utopia then.

I do agree with Servant that going through the market either with selling food only or with selling food and buying NW is more complex and interesting, which is why I value jumping in tournament and primary more than in 1a.
