The rise in the price of gasoline in the US is becoming almost routine. Fuel prices broke the March record, rising to $4.4 per gallon (3.785 liters), according to the American Automobile Association.
The national average price of a gallon of gasoline hit $4,374, up more than 4 cents on the day. Fuel rises sharply due to the high cost of oil: Brent and WTI are trading above $100.
Since April 29, US gasoline inventories have slipped 1% or 2.2 million barrels (1%), according to the Energy Information Administration of the US Department of Energy, although a reduction of only 0.6 million barrels was expected.
In March, the US President announced that 1 million barrels of oil would be released from strategic reserves every day for six months - more than 180 million barrels in total, which is a record release of oil from strategic reserves. But even this “anchor” does not keep prices from unprecedented jumps.

how comforting! Truth?
