Gas prices, at least in Fairborn, Ohio, have been behaving interestingly lately.
A pattern has emerged. Prices have been dropping slowly over several days by about 10 to 15 cents, then jumping 25 to 30 cents in a single day. This has now happened at least four times in a row. Earlier today, I made a mental note that within the next day or two, the price of gas should make a 25 to 30 cent jump.
Sure enough, gas was 26 cents a gallon higher as I drove home than it was this morning on my way to work.
Patterns like this in such a complicated market are highly unlikely to happen by chance. What is going on???
I almost feel as though I am being acclimated to higher prices. If that is being deliberately attempted, it ain't working.
If the pattern continues, I expect we will hit that magical $5 a gallon mark on Monday, 22 April, 2013
