Where I live now, gas prices and their changes are fascinating. Five or six times now in the last year, prices have inched their way down to a fairly low price (lowest was $2.98) only to be jacked up by 40 cents in one day. This last week they went to $3.16 and the next day ALL the stations were at $3.49, and then $3.59 the next day. Yet I’ve heard nothing about some catastrophic event to explain it.

Same thing here in Central Indiana. I heard there was a refinery fire in Illinois but they also said that the winter blends are being phased out and the summer blends are being produced. Henceforth, a shortage of winter blend gasolines, higher prices.

But you also need to factor in what's going on overseas in the Middle East as well.

I have a gut feeling that this year is gonna be a very bad year, and things won't be getting better any time soon.
