    if that fuel wouldn’t actually make a dent in retail prices in the u.s (it wouldn’t. at all. what the u.s. is ‘buying’ is less than one day’s consumption)…

    then not having that fuel should also not have any effect on retail prices.

      gas prices are based on feelings, not reality. If the tiny drop of oil doesn’t make it, people will have bad feelings and that makes gas prices go up.
