Speculators (Petroleum Pirates) did that

Also the crap democrat governors do. Prime example - Gavin Newsom. Yesterday a customer while not happy about Pennsylvania said it was worse in California because her aunt has to pay $8.00.

It's $3.79 here right now. It was $4.79 when Biden was in office. Demorhhoids WANT gas prices to go up because the WEF & George Soros have called the shots for years. That's what bamboozled Demorhhoid voters don't understand.

Also gasoline is the only product that can go up or down in the same day and is instantly adjusted at the gas station. As far as I know no other product that a consumer can buy does that. Even if you go to a jewelry store to buy gold/silver ring there won't be a price adjustment within an hour after buy a ring.

Wait until grocery stores have minute by minute adjusted prices.

Absolute truth. Most price fluctuations are due to commodities traders who would ruin their $3000 suits if they actually handled any oil. Refiners buy oil on contract and only fill in with spot market oil as needed. The price of West Texas oil is much higher than similar quality Wyoming crude, which typically sells for about half the TX price due to lack of take away capacity (pipelines). Even if there were adequate pipelines, the well head price would reflect the cost of transportation. The oil industry is not monolithic.
