Stimulus checks for Oil?

Isn't it ironic that as soon as people started receiving stimulus checks from the government, the price of oil skyrocketed to record highs? Now, it seems everyone has used up their money, and the oil prices are coming down. This is just a "black helicopter" theory, but it does make you wonder. Was our money funneled right into the pockets of middle easterners? Was our money taken away from us so speculators could profit knowing that people would have to dig deep into their pockets to pay for much needed gas? Think about it.
