I was surprised it didn’t happen sooner but it finally jumped last night here to 3.29 from 2.79. Oil is a global commodity so even if we don’t use middle eastern oil it’s all priced the same. Having it here just means if they were to ever shut down or cut production we wouldn’t see gas lines like the 70s.
