I think the only reasons why oil prices went down was for 4th of July and Obama's subliminal way to keep his presidency. Although, Newt Gringrich did say he would make gas prices at 2$ if he became president, which is kind of a strange thing to say at the time. Anything is possible and I never understood why they always kept going up and down, up and down if their is a constant flow and the 30 something states that have oil rigs in them, that part never made sense to me. I still have to believe that gas prices will slowly began to creep down the more and more we pull troops out and vehicles/tanks that requires the oil.
