Democrats won huge in the midterms<\/a>, taking back both houses of Congress. That means a check on Trump\u2019s power, but McKnight doesn\u2019t think it will materially change the global gas market enough to keep gas prices as low as they are today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\u201cAs long as President Trump is President Trump. He has the veto power so he can change any decision overnight. We\u2019ve got another two years of this coin tossing and I\u2019m running out of change,\u201d McKnight said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
McKnight said the markets have reacted well since the Democrat win suggests the possibility of stability in Iran and the Strait of Hormuz. But, that\u2019s temporary since the months of supply shortages have no solution in sight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe problem is refined products. The inventory of gas, diesel and jet fuel. That\u2019s not recovering well. That\u2019s where the problem is going to be in the near future once we get over the euphoria of the midterms,\u201d he said. \u201cThe other problem is the war in Iran. The Strait of Hormuz situation hasn\u2019t been solved and I don\u2019t think it will get resolved anytime soon as long as President Trump is President Trump.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If there\u2019s ever been a time to fill up, McKnight said it\u2019s now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe\u2019re skating on pretty thin ice. Take it while you can,\u201d McKnight said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
