The DOE has started purchasing oil for the Strategic Petroleum Reserves. See this article. That will raise prices because there will be less oil on the market. At least that is the story.

The simple reason gas price continue to go up is easy....
Cuz we're willing to pay it....
Government said demand was down so they have to raise prices accordingly. Is this a great country or what?

Bought diesel in Wichita Falls Tx for 1.99 and my son told me diesel in Oklahoma was 1.99 but...heard on morning news that government says its losing money for fixing roads and bridges with gas and diesel being low. What about when it was 5 dollars a gallon?

I didn't see any significant data on ANY STATES to indicate a rise in price overall. Hope this continues to be the trend.
