*ofc, in total truth, the Presidency alone has as much control over domestic oil and gas prices as the orbit of the Moon…but it’s nice corporate propaganda to pull out the hat as needed.

1. No. Watched ABC news last night and they are still on the "highest gas prices of the season" crap.

2. American media obsession with one of the lowest fossil fuel prices in the world is solid

evidence Americans generally speaking know little of the world or how it works…we on the same interstellar spaceship ffs! America, like every nation, only has a cabin!

3. Well in some places it is.

Clearly the terminals or retailers pocketing the difference.

"Hey, you need gas, so (shrugs)"

5. Reports of falling oil prices are all over the news I've been hearing, watching, and reading.

In this case, the president did have a significant role in lowering prices by increasing the prospect of increased supplies by opening up Venezuelan production following negotiations between Maduro and opposition figures.

As is being widely reported.

6. And still the average gas prices in our region is $3.60/gal

Somebody is making money hand over fist.

8. Paid $4.79 last week in a Chicago suburb. Still 3.89 in my hometown.

And diesel fuel is still well over $5.00 everywhere I have seen.

7. Anyone who drives can see prices going down.

I don't need the corporate media to tell me that. Even those who don't drive hear others talking about price going down. The way to make oil prices go down is use less oil. Share a ride, consolidate trips, stop buying gas guzzlers. Want to bring grocery prices down? When you see Kroger jack up the price of something you normally buy and you don't absolutely need it? Don't buy it. The corner Farmer's Market carries a few of the items I normally buy at Kroger and the price is a dollar or 2 less. The produce hasn't been sitting in a warehouse for 5 days and lasts longer. The locally made bread is fresher and cheaper. My goal is to get 25% less groceries at Kroger.

9. Weeks before the midterms here in western WI, gas prices were dropping,

but a week before the election they went up 30 cents to $3.60/gallon which was puzzling. After the election the price began to drop again and is now below $3--as cheap as I have seen it this year.
