Georgia just dropped the gas-tax playbook — 60-day suspension saving drivers ~
$400M. When states start eating tax revenue to fight pump prices, that's a policy signal traders can't ignore.
Watch for other states to copy this fast. More fuel tax holidays = demand support = less pressure on
$USO $XLE to pull back. Refiners like
$MPC $VLO could see volume hold up better than bears expect.
If this spreads nationwide, the bearish "demand destruction" thesis takes a hit. Keep
$CL_F on the watchlist — policy cushions matter.
