Why would there be a 6 week delay?

The increases in use are sporadic. For every Memorial Day weekend, you get a lag of a few weeks behind it that creates a periodic mini glut, regulating the price downward. The market needs a sustained time frame of continuous increased consumption to drive prices into a sustained upward trajectory (like the fall heating season). Increased summer gas usage could be the very best thing for our fall heating prices because it could leave increased inventory in the market at an opportune time.
