"Wartime" President George W. Bush, prices ranged from a low of $1.04 to $4.05 per gallon then down to the low of 1.79 when Obama took office.[election year]
Obama $1.79 - highest USA Average so far was $3.96 [reg] but some states felt the hurt even more than "the reported average"
Does this mean gas prices will drop following the same path of other decreases before elections come around ;)
