A “secret” release? How would that effect prices?

You need suppliers and purchases to know about addition oil to impact pricing.

If it were true, and I don’t think it is, the reason would be to affect voters’ minds more than actual oil prices..........................

Any such release by the Strategic Petroleum Reserve would not be a "secret".

Is the SPR filled with lower grade sour grade crude anyway bought at a higher price ?

Actually no better time than now then to get rid of the old crude that was sold at higher price and refill it with a higher grade at a lower priced.
