It is simple economics. Demand is high while refineries are doing maintenance and are switching from winter to summer blends.
Blame ecos nuts and democrats for most of this.

The most learned minds in the world haven't been able to figure this out completely. Anything can cause it, including even a rumor about tensions in the middle east, a refinery valve shutting down production, OPEC scheming to increase profits, likewise oil companies in the US, or whatever. There've been countless congressional hearings about it, wild guesses, pundits saying they know for sure, and I'm surprised someone isn't blaming it on the ghosts of Henry Ford and Saddam Hussein. Bottom line? Your guess is as good as mine.
