Everything feeds into everything. As gas gets more expensive everything that needs gas to move gets more expensive. As labor gets more expensive everything that involves labor get more expensive. And the tariffs don’t help the math, when the competition gets more expensive everybody is free to up the price of domestic and increase their profit margin. You can see that in diesel, as the price of gas goes up so does the price of diesel, even though the things that make gas more expensive frequently have no impact on the diesel supply, but the “competition” is more expensive, so there you go.

Bad example for me. In Phoenix, the price if gasoline moves largely because of seasonal mandated specual blends. Not only does tge price of diesel move independently, it is often significantly LESS expensive than the gasoline price.
