Probably mostly due to their being denial from the industry that this takes place, always blaming it on some plant shut-down or something. If the message was demand goes up on long weekends, then there is not really anything to dispute. Not sure why we don't hear that more often.
But I agree with another poster who said these 15-20 cent spikes are really rubbing it in. Seems the price adjustment use to be like 3-5 cents before a long weekend.
