Is this more than a coincidence?

Both times the govt. gave out income tax checks to help stimulate the economy,gas prices were thru the roof in the month leading to when the checks were to be cut. Is this a coincidence or are we paying for these checks with inflated gas prices?

Just Curious
 
For one, it's approaching summer, and EVERY year gas prices soar when it gets closer and closer to summer time. Sadly.
Also, gas prices are so high partly due to the taxes we pay per gallon. I believe combined fed and state taxes, it's over $0.40 per gallon... not to mention prices are so outrageous due to how much gas companies have to go through in order to abide by the law to produce the product we ALL use...
I don't really know if the government writing out checks to us has anything to do with it... honestly, I don't see a connection.
