Yeah, I believe it was the administration that hung the blame on the last price hike on speculators. Go figure! And by "official", it was released through the press circuits (since I heard it through NPR)
Gas price spikes have a lot of factors, predominantly geography and distance from refineries and take into account local or regional price additives (as those in California). Once upon a time, Alaska was the most expensive but I guess that's out the door with the panic pricing. Nothing new there -- I see it as a free market system in effect.
