We could also have a good argument over chicken and egg here. If the
value
of the dollar goes down, and oil is priced in dollars, then it is
mathematically predictable that the price of oil will rise
accordingly.
That's how commodities work.

Yes, but fuel prices are still WAY different.

Experts figure that around $5-$12/bbl is an "uncertainty premium" due to

I'm talking about USA compared to Europe (and how, despite the difference,
the foreign airlines "make money".

You chopped the conclusion I reached, in that the analogy is not US to
foreign airline, but foreign airlines and Amtrak!
