it's largely symbolic considering it takes about three weeks for that oil to impact the supply and represents roughly 3 days of use
so this is essentially smoke signals
releasing oil reserves has been used in the past for public signalling to the cartels that their shipping lanes may develop 'problems', sanctions might be considered, and other sub rosa unilateral action, in addition to publicity that problems were being addressed to voters
of course more substantive behind the scenes moves are being made
