Saying all that, I'm not surprised - look at the folks who hoarded water and toilet paper when the pandemic began - still don't understand that scenario but that's another topic.

Funny you mention this. The other day I was filling up at a Sunoco and it cut me off at $75. Then happened again at a convenience store pump. I thought it was weird.
