That would be great news; especially as it might help conservatives during the midterm elections.

If we lose Congress and gas prices fall, the liberal media shall Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi all the credit.

At the local HEB prices have dropped from over $3 to the $2.65 or so mark in the last couple of weeks. If it drops below $2, the Rats will start slitting their wrists.

If you want to know what gas prices are doing in real time, check here.
NY Mercantile Exchange Unleaded Gaoline Futures
The futures prices typically show up at the pump about 3-5 days later. You'll have to gauge the amount of taxes + retail markup for your areas to add to the futures price.

China is making a concerted effort to cool their economy. If successful, that would reduce the demand for oil. In addition, our inventory is increasing and demand will slacken after Labor Day. If we could get a handle on Iran, there is an estimated $10 to $15 premium built into the price of oil that would evaporate very quickly.

Gasoline Prices Could Keep Falling($2 by Thanksgiving?) That's gonna leave a mark at the ol' DNC.
It would kill those predictions of the Republicans losing the House and Senate.
Except the MSM will make sure we know...
IT'S NOT BUSH'S FAULT.

Remember when Clinton increased the gasoline tax by 5 cents a gallon and devastated the middle class?That was just on gasoline. Add another 6 cents for diesel fuel, not to mention the "color coding" for road (taxed, low-sulfur) and off-road (non-taxed, higher-sulfur, farm and construction use) diesel.
It started out as red for road use, blue for off-road, and green for military use. However, when the blue dye was mixed into the diesel, it turned GREEN! (I guess the pion in charge was absent that day in grade school when the art teacher taught them "Yellow and Blue make GREEN!)
Today, only the off-road is dyed, and it's red....
