In truth I have no idea. But we don't have to guess, as we'll see in about two weeks if there are any downstream effects to have to worry about!

Either way, people are already making decisions and, whether true or not, citing these high gas prices as their reasoning behind their different behaviors.

I did hear that it will impact Japan much more than people inside the USA. Then again, Iran was talking about making a special exemption to allow ships for Japanese oil to go through the strait, while blocking others such as those for the USA. So maybe not?
