If refineries are refining at capacity, capacity defined as refining enough to supply demand, then simply making more petroleum available from strategic reserves to refineries won't have an effect on gas prices unless the government sells the petroleum to some oil company at below-market prices and tells it that it must pass along the price cut to consumers.
