Sixty three times this year, at least one US metro area saw a single day gas price shock of 20 cents or more. Analysts state that this volatility is because refiners keep a smaller supply of oil on hand to cut costs. Currently the US fuel system carries about 26 days of fuel compared to 30-40 day supplies previously held.
