The national average price of regular gasoline has dropped 41 cents since April 2, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration’s This Week in Petroleum June 20 report.

And prices are continuing to fall.

The average price per gallon as of June 26 was $3.40 – down 10 cents from last week, 24 cents from last month and 17 cents from a year ago, according to AAA’s Fuel Gauge Report.

Media sources reported June 22 that it was possible for gas prices to drop to $3 a gallon by end of October. EIA officials did not speculate on just how low prices might drop this year. However, in its short-term energy outlook released June 12, officials lowered the price forecast for regular gasoline by 19 cents. The EIA now says the average annual price for 2012 should be $3.56 per gallon, compared to $3.53 in 2011. Current projects for 2013 show the price decrease continuing with an annual average price at $3.51 a gallon.

God Damn Obama... The stupid fuck couldn't even get the price of gas over $6 a gallon like EVERYONE on the right promised..

Just sayin...

Because he made all types of promises to OPEC to sell us out after he's re-elected (not that he'll get re-elected).

Plus, don't forget that Obama and his minions have clearly stated that they want high oil prices to force us to develop green energy. So exactly why are you celebrating what is a failure by his standard?

It's interesting that the liberal media is touting Obama's ability to get gas down to $3 by the end of October and yet they mocked Gingrich for promising $2.50 a gallon gas.

The US imports as much oil from Mexico as it does from Saudi-Arabia. The US imports more oil from Canada than it does Mexico or Saudi Arabia. The US imports more oil from non-Opec countries than it does from Opec countries.

If that's true then Keystone especially should have happened.

I toured a refinery on Tue this week. the guide pointed out 2 new units that were added over the last 5 years at a cost of 30 million $. He said the only way they could stay in business is by increasing the prices to their jobbers (who in turn pass it on to retailers). EPA mandated stuff. Mostly sulphur and other impurities recovery.

Big change in the Tune of Obama having no control over gas prices, huh. Funny how the whole Economy hinges on gas prices too. Who Knew? Damn. You Guy's are a trip. A bad one, but a trip just the same.

You think?

Obama promised $10/gallon.

Can this guy do anything right?

So, again, I say, when gas prices were rising, all of the right wingers were on FOX telling us all why Obama was to blame.
So, now I expect they are all on TV saying that Obama should get credit for the price decreases.
Right, cons?
