Of course it is. Petroleum is a global commodity. If there is more demand anywhere then the price goes up and all sellers make more money.

Only the ones that aren't recycled. Make sure you recycle your spork.

Except there's currently a price war going on because of fracking. There's way more supply than there was a decade ago, most of it domestic.

Which has no effect on the principle. Increasing the demand will increase the price regardless of whether the existing price is $2 or $4.
