Since I never claimed gas prices didn't go much higher, before they dropped, you don't.
Gasoline was $1.65 in 2007, went up to $3.85, and is now back down to $2.35,
According to the link I posted, more than $2.50, nationwide in 2007, about $2.35, nationwide, now.
We aren't discussing two disembodied points in time. We are discussing the entire range between 2008 and 2015, and frankly I have become convinced that you aren't up to the level of comprehension necessary to continue any sort of discussion.
Gas prices went up because of Obama's stupid policies. They came back down because the industry and technology advanced. In other words, they came back down despite Obama.
Had the industry and technology not made advancements, (fracking, shale oil processing) they would still be way up there at around double the prices of 2008, (or higher) just like everything else under this stupid jackasses regime.
