About two weeks ago I was enjoying gas prices around the $1.23 to 1.25 range.  Since then they have gone up to $1.69.  I noticed the prices on my way home.  I haven't heard of the current prices on oil.  Does anyone have any idea of why the sudden price hike?I also find it fascinating that when oil prices go down the price of gas drops a penny or two and it takes weeks to get there.  Have the oil prices go up and the prices rise a nickel or higher immediately.  I haven't heard of any oil shortage....  Anyone have an answer? 03/02/2016
