Gas Prices $4.16+ Massively Underpriced Given Oil Surge
Kalshi prices only a 10% chance gas hits $4.16 by April 6 — while oil just jumped 12% in a single session and geopolitical risk in Hormuz is spiking. The lag between crude moves and retail pump prices is typically 1-2 weeks, meaning this week's crude surge feeds directly into next week's AAA print. At 10 cents, this is a near-free option on a near-certain outcome. Buy YES aggressively.
