Could you elaborate a bit more on why this is a big mistake? The historical evidence suggests it's a pretty good predictor even at $140 oil. In lieu of other readily available models for consumers, figured this was better than trying to extrapolate a linear equation since that breaks down. I appreciate the comment.

You can't use a 2nd order polynomial to calulate future gas prices out of the oil price. In my humble opgignion this article makes a big mistake.
