The real news is demand, not the fuel prices. I've seen some markets bump fares by $5 or $10, which is fairly common since they tend to take a very gradual approach. Inventory, on the other hand, has been pretty ludicrous for some summer dates I have checked, which is inline with the story of record bookings.

I always struggle to parse news about "ticket prices" since no mainstream outlet would ever differentiate between fares and inventory, and regardless "ticket prices" are a combination of the two anyway.
