Oil & Gas inventories increased because they shipped more knowing there are more sales this time of the year. However consumption was still less than a year ago, so they oversupplied but still raised prices because they can.

Oil prices have recently come down. Why did gas at the pump go up $0.14 per gallon yesterday?

I agree, there is no comparison to these figures & prices we see at gas stations. There never will be either, gas prices will continue to rise no matter what these figures are.

Decreased production as well as selling off current inventory certainly helped to increase prices.

The surplus goes up and the price goes up. That doesn't say much for supply and demand.

With a report like that you'd think prices would slip a little, but not if they can squeeze a little more out of us Makes no sense, the price of gas except greed

These DOE Highlights are truly extraordinary. Without them Gasbuddy followers would have little to look forward to in the area of humor in price gouging. If we could only deprive DOE of their pencils life would have a little more humor but, no real improvement because they would learn to use crayolas all over again.
