President Clinton's two terms average weekly gasoline prices ranged from a low of $0.88 per gallon to $1.66. Then down lower to $1.04 [ low follows election year]

"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 ;)

"THE WASHINGTON TIMES Gerson Lewis of Lorton gets ready to fuel his car at a Mobil station on New York Avenue Northeast in April 2001. The lowest price of President Bush’s term came in December of that year"..then the Washington Times 2009 article goes on to say: " but prices are lower now than in 2001 in today’s dollars".
