... and (hopefully) a drop in a demand for fuel will cause Big Oil to lower retail costs of gas (i.e. stop gouging us) or (GULP!) build a refinery in N America (or rebuild the one in Texas that went down in Katrina) so that they can actually lower their production costs by reducing dependence on foreign refineries or by lowering product transportation costs.
