Gots to argue my point further. Look around your house, job, store or wherever. How many products do you see that weren't handled by a diesel truck at some point between the producer and where they are now? Those freight companies are being held very firmly by their cajones. Who's holding them? The oil companies. The freighters either pay the price or shut down. How long can America last without trucks if they did that? I'll bet the grocery stores would be out of perishables within just a few days and the rest of the shelves would begin to look like the pictures we used to see of the store shelves in the old Soviet Union. The price of gas wouldn't make squat of a difference. There wouldn't be any to buy anyway unless some enterprising souls started buying gas powered trucks hell, maybe even horse teams to pull gas wagons.
In the end the American consumer winds up paying for the inflated diesel cost every time they buy anything. I dunno what the answer is. Aint smart enough.
