My guess would be that it's an Election Year. But, I'm cynical that way. ;)

If you haven't been 'dollar cost averaging' on your gasoline, get in the habit. Fill up at the same time each week, at the same station no matter what the price. Over time, you'll have gotten the most for your dollars as prices fluctuate. This works well when investing, too. Same amount, same time of month, same accounts.

Works every time it's tried. :)

Some of the democRAT-run States will probably try to increase the gas tax. Inexpensive and abundant energy is anathema to these creeps.

Could.....

I am fascinated how "news" became activist journalism, and now is morphed into telling the future with the wiggle word caveat that "could" also includes its opposite.

We now are told the temperature years from now, the geopolitical realities decades into the future, so many things that the Oracle at Delphi looks like a piker. And Nostradamus is passé. We have new oracles. So the media would have us think....

Get ready for lots of gas about how great things are and who did it. Don't forget who lowered the price of your Thanksgiving turkey, too!

Recession, less demand, lower prices.

I neglected to add that "could" made me laugh because we've been buying gas at a couple of local dealers for between $2.82+ for regular for weeks now. Depends on where on lives, doesn't it?

Foretelling the past is -- or "could" be -- quite a game.

Total BS. OPEC is hellbent on cutting production and causing higher prices.

Xiden doesn’t have the cred with them to cause an election year price drop.

There are other factors at play and I’m not going to pretend to know what’s behind this, other than to warn that this is probably the ‘calm before the storm’…

Last week it dipped to $2.97 here in North Central Florida - blink and you missed it, though. Now it’s up to at least $3.17.

$2.52 in deep South Texas. We live within 15 miles of 5 large refineries. It should be half that if it weren’t for gasoline taxes and other artificial costs.

But in a town that is dependent on the oil and gas business, that is not necessarily good news. My guess is that Biden & Co. are paying off the Saudis to try and kill off the domestic oil and gas industry by destroying the market, since they can’t legislate it out of existence.

Useful idea. Perhaps better if one fills up on the same day of the week at the cheapest on that day- for a better “average”.

In any case this market “turn”-— Well, let’s just say that poopy pants JoeBama WILL claim responsibility for the lowering.

EVEN as he still has not authorized FILLING the US National Strategic Oil Reserve in Louisiana. Salt caves are largely empty- prompting fears of collapse of the domes. Just saying
