Any ideas why prices have jumped 15% in the last 2 weeks?

Also, it seems odd that EVERY station in the Austin are is at the same price. I have to wonder if there is any relationship between this price jump and the congressional hearings into gas pricing going on. (ok, so that just smacks of conspiracy theory but it is an interesting coincidence).
Because the $2.07 was far too low, in comparison ot the national average. I'm amazed that the retailers didn't adjust sooner.
