18 cents is a lot of money. It almost adds up to a single McCoin.

Of which some portion will be immediately diverted into profits at the rack for long suffering (maybe six months?) refineries, a few more pennies to margin for long-suffering major producers (based on recent Congressional testimony) and yes straight into the pockets of long suffering sovereign producers due immediate higher demand in the massive US road transport fuel market(Pemex supplies a third of Mexico's government budget) with a little bit left over to expand things like deepwater drilling budgets (Halliburton just had to get some). If only the independent retailer could get a little piece of the action, then they wouldn't need to charge us two bucks for a cup of coffee. What's that per gallon?

If all this nonsense sounds familiar, maybe we should start calling the Senator from Arizona John McCheney?
