Oil prices have been extremely volatile in the past, but this year natural gas prices, gasoline prices, and diesel prices all swung wildly — and sometimes out of sync with each other. Russia’s invasion is the primary reason for prices shooting up above $120/bbl, a price level that has only ever been seen once before, in 2008.
