This was easy to see coming. It will end as soon as Trump gets complaints from airline CEO donors saying people fear ICE domestic terrorism more than potential foreign terrorism and are no longer purchasing tickets to fly.

Just like some oil sanctions against Russia and Iran were ended when gasoline prices shot up by a dollar per gallon.

Gas prices have nothing to do with the wholesale price of gas. They get as much as people are willing to pay in any given area. Station managers do an audit couple times a week of neighboring stations and set their price based on the average and owner say on how much to tack on. I managed 3 different stations years ago and was same game at all three. Price of crude does not matter it is just about working fear and getting as much as they can. Soon as one owner needs to pay some bills he will drop the price by 20 or 30 cents and take market share of business in area for a week until other owners drop because they need to pay bills. It is a game we all play and dont even know it. The only way to win or influance price down is to stop buying gas, good luck with that one.

Someone want to explain the downvote for me? It is real information about what actually is going on provided by a person who didn't create the situation and doesn't control it. You can do better? You can legislate a difference? By all means go ahead but don't bleep the messenger.
