What's Up With the Gas Prices?

I must say I am no conspiracy believer either. Like Hindrocket, I have to wonder what the heck is going on here.

I used to pay little attention to gas prices, then again I had money and rarely was the one filling up the tank. Things have been different for awhile now, I do notice and have for some time. I’ve been confused for the past couple of weeks, being from Illinois and all. Every winter our gas prices jump, big time. It’s been addressed several times, though with no reductions in prices.
Suddenly this year, prices are dropping, from $2.15 to $1.87. Weird for sure.
