Answer...environmental bull has blocked the installation of any new fuel plants for over 30 years. That's the bottle neck. We need to build more plants to put more fuel on the market. Having been involved in EPA crap for years in the construction business, I can attest to the fact that most of EPA regulations and regulators don't have a clue as to what they are imposing. Unbelievably stupid or deliberately wishing to destroy America...I'm not sure which.

Fundamentals play little role in prices any longer.
Not that I doubt you but do you have any links to that. Especially the glut part. Short term tankers sitting idle doesn't mean a lot.

There is a surplus of oil right now, but prices have been going up on speculation. Speculation that the drop in price was overdone. The U.S. Oil rigs have been shutting down steadily since the price went down, so there is speculation that the glut will end. Shale drilling is very expensive and they can't afford to do it at such low prices. Also, unrest in Yemen pushed the speculative price up. Emerging markets have been improving, so they will need more oil. And last but not least, the U.S. Dollar has been losing some of the strength it gained at the beginning of the year. A strong dollar means cheap oil. A weak dollar means expensive oil. Other than the "glut" that was another reason oil prices dropped so low. The dollar got very strong for a while.

That lasted about an hour. Prices jumped, and then went back to where they were very quickly when the news came out that it was their own vessel.

yeah, the news grabbed this about 3 or 4 weeks ago and said it was going to be cheaper this summer....

and as far as state and federal tax, I get that, however, there is much more to it then that, and they switched to summer blend a while ago.....that is why it was so cheap there for awhile.

Nothing with production... a lot with speculation.
