Even in July, when retail sales missed expectations, sales at autos and parts dealers rose. But disappointing auto-industry figures unveiled earlier this month are a concern. And it is the auto dealers that might go from positive catalyst to deterrent in Thursday’s retail-sales report, one of the final major economic data points the Federal Reserve will consider before its highly anticipated policy mee...

That heralds lower prices at the pump, les painful driving, and less scrutiny of EPA mileage figures on Monroney stickers. Oil supply and inventories are rising, but the demand falls off sharply, since the overseas interests are conspiring to keep prices down— and in their favor.
