the truckers aren't going to "give back" that amount they saved from the gas holiday. so my food prices will stay the same.

Truckers in southern states are driving to Mexico to buy diesel, it's just under $2 a gallon here. I guess the US custom officials are stopping them if they're carrying more then 110 gal.

Big companies will likely weather this situation. Small and/or family owned businesses are fucked.

Reminds of the US stance on importing cheaper medications from Canada.
