Feels like every day for three months there's a piece about how tomorrow the price of gas is going $200/barrel. It never does though. Gas may just be a lot more elastic now than it was 50 years ago, or even 3 years ago. I have no idea, but I'll believe it when I see it.
That's not going to help, price spikes are locked in at this point, even if we got a deal this minute. It would be marginaly better simply because it would improve sentiment.
