Let's say that oil companies decided to completely cut out their profit on gas. Completely. That's about 9 cents/gallon. I recall that the possible elimination of the gas taxes for the summer was laughed at because it would make no real impact, but that would have been something like 24 cents/gallon, if I recall the numbers correctly.
If 24 cents/gallon would make no real impact, then what impact does 9 cents/gallon make? No real impact at all.
The oil companies are nothing but a scapegoat.
