Yes the producers are looking for any old excuse to raise prices so what will happen is people buy less gas until the stocks rise up to ridiculous levels again and the price drops. In the meantime I will be building invisible storage tanks out of transparent aluminum In my yard where no one can see them so when the price falls to $.50 a gallon I’ll stock up!
Seriously I hope they don’t go up to much more even though I only drive 100 miles a month my wife drives Over 1000.

I never understood the logic of cheaper gas prices equals buying/driving cars that waste more gas to get from point A to B. It's like most people never see the bigger picture on anything in the world, and live in these tiny bubble realities of complete self-interest and instant gratification. Even when gas was cheap I was very happy to be averaging 41-42 MPG in my Yaris - not just when it started hitting the wallet harder. Regardless of the gas price, I am still using X% less gas & spending X% less money on gas.

The interiors of newer Yaris are much nicer and more expensive than the first gen. Then the auto journalists are dumb and always make economy cars sound like crap. They love trashing the Yaris and have done a great job running off enthusiasts, even though the Yaris is a phenomenal car for enthusiasts and has done really well in autocross and at the track. Hell I even made my father a believer and he hated my car in every way.
