Higher inventory means higher prices, because there is a holding cost associated with that inventory.

You got some place to store a few million barrels of oil? It takes roughly 1 million barrels of oil to supply the East Coast for a day, iirc. So just how much (vlolatile, flammable) inventory were you going to stack up where?
