But then if it isn't going to have much of an impact on our prices at the pump, how is this different than what I have been saying all along? It will help keep them from going up. And will probably cause them to go down a bit. They have a huge volume, and anything that threatens even a single penny is enough to get them rolling out the big guns. Tariffs against importing gasoline would bring out a harsh response. They wouldn't have to roll over and play dead they could be defeated over their active opposition. We already import some gasoline. If no new refineries are going to be built in the US than we are going to import more. We aren't going to stop using gasoline and other refined products, we are likely to use more in the future than we do now. This could all be thrown out by a massive shift to electric cars or hydrogen powered vehicles ect. I am assuming no major change in the way our cars are designed just normal evolutionary change. Tim
