The lower portion of the pipeline likely would have been built anyway.
If it moves the blob of oil the current pipeline leaves in the center of the country to the Gulf that doesn't change the price of gasoline. If anything they might go up in the heartland. Sorry Heartland.
The price of that oil isn't miraculously devoid of speculator trading.
We will be exporting the gasoline from the tar sands to Mexico. The contracts are already on the table. That's why the pipeline needs to reach the Gulf refineries.
If anything gas prices here will go up.
