Right now, both RBOB gasoline and heating oil futures are down about 12 cents/gallon since the opening on Monday. So I guess the price increases had gone just a bit too far, too fast, for current conditions.
And locally, wholesale/terminal prices are down about 8 cents. That means some of the more proactive stations could drop their pump prices by a nickel or more. Most stations in the SuperAmerica chain were vary quick to raise their prices for diesel to $4.19, so I should be able to tell in the next day when prices fall. The cheapest stations are $3.839 to $3.899, according to Gas Buddy, but they are hard to find.

As usuall, fuel prices spike up with each tiny blip on the radar but take an act of God to come down.

Filled this morning for 3.939. Last night the same station was 3.899. Tried to use Shell this morning but they wouldn't allow supermarket discounts and at 4.239 I passed on that.

At least some stations are cutting diesel prices as fast as they raised them. An SA station that was $3.959 last Saturday, and $4.199 on Monday and Tuesday, had dropped back to $3.959 this afternoon (Thursday). And there were lots more stations charging $3.99 than I saw earlier this week.
Both Brent and WTI crude hit life-of-contract highs early today, with WTI closing just under $109.00. So regional weaknesses in prices at the pumps are probably temporary.
Both gasoline and heating oil prices fluctuated wildly on Thursday; I suspect we will not know until Monday at the earliest where prices will go next.

Things seem to be moving in the wrong direction down here in coastal Alabama. I'm seeing gas prices steady or dropping, and several diesel outlets going up. It's anywhere from $3.899-$4.099 still, but everyone is gravitating to the high end of that scale.

seeing a range of 4.21 - 4.35 in upstate NY. jumped .20 in a very short time. I don't always assume that diesel follows gas price spikes. Looks like I'm wrong.

Today I had to get some RUG, all over Denver RUG is $3.099-3.199 and D2 is $3.689-3.789. RUG has gone up ~$0.20 in the last ~week and half while D2 is holding in the range it has been in for close to 4 months.

The petroleum pit craziness on Thursday and Friday was apparently caused by an Iranian news service report about an oil pipeline blast in Saudi Arabia.... which turned out to be false.
I think we should expect this kind of volatility for the foreseeable future. Near-zero interest rates in the US, inflation expectations, national debt, fear of sovereign debt defaults, concern that high oil prices will lead to another round of recession, etc.
But in the immediate future, this news should have consequences:

I understand that there are two places in the country where fuel is extremely over-inflated. (there may be more that I'm not aware of). Death valley is one, and there's another one, north of Ragged Point on hwy 1 along the California Coast.
(It's a twisty windy road, so the fuel must be trucked in via a small 10-wheeler truck. The wise should tank up in SLO before proceeding North up the coast.)
Badwater basin is like 100+ miles from ANYWHERE. So I'm not at all surprised at $5.90.
I did a bunch of driving along the coast on Saturday.
The least expensive I found NORTH of LA/South of SLO this weekend (according to Gas Buddy) was $5.29/gal. at a Valero station along rt. 126 just west of Santa Clarita. Every other station through Ventura, Santa Barbara, Santa Maria, Pismo, and San Luis, is in the $4.50-$4.79 range.

Fuel should be expensive in isolated, out-of-the-way locations -- to encourage retailers to offer fuel for sale, and to discourage drivers from buying more than they absolutely need to get to the next station.
Whether one is crossing the ocean in a sailing ship to a new land, or crossing the Great Plains in a covered wagon, or crossing the Mohave Desert on a back road to Las Vegas, it's always a good idea to plan ahead and buy what you need before you start out. Everything costs more out in the middle of Nowhere, if you can get it at all.
