Not much in the news about the new oil field in the gulf, it's a gusher! But it won't help much with gas since we haven't built a new refinery in 30 yrs.

Supply and demand. If you notice, the north has been hit with some heavy snow and Colorado has been slammed. This drives up the demand for fuels, like heating oil and gas, so, the price will creep up.
It happens every year and depending on how rough winter is, cost could go higher. OPEC is talking about cutting production so, that will cause the price to go up. Sure would be nice to be drilling and producing our own oil from the coasts of California and Florida. Would mean less dependence on OPEC and their oil.

The holidays are coming and people will be traveling. Same old profiteering thing that happens all the time no matter who's in office.

clearly the anticipation of the impending confiscatory tax increases by the dems...higher prices makes additional taxes unpleasant and harder to pass.
