At a pretty small savings at the pump, add to which a war between Ukraine and Russia with a nutcase at the helm with nukes. Not a likely scenario, but a possibility. We really could use that if something really pops off, but hey 10 cents on a gallon of gas is a pretty sweet option too.

The impact doesn’t end at the gas pump. There’s a ripple effect throughout the economy.

Obviously, but it doesn't have that much effect.

Well by that argument there probably would never be a time you’d condone the reserve’s usage outside of war- which it isn’t usable for as it’s simply sold as crude on the open market for private refining. It is literally only used to impact prices.
