    Yesterday gas in my neighborhood was $3.49 and this morning it is now $3.79. I fully expect it to keep wildly jumping up daily until the public either starts burning stuff down or strikes.

      It won’t rise daily, it will rise with each truckload. So, twice a day or so depending on where you live?

      What doesn’t make sense is the price is going up seeing that US refiners don’t use Persian gulf crude.

      The US refineries aren’t even configured to use Persian gulf oil. Your prices should be going down considering Trump opened the strategic reserves.
