About a week ago OPEC announced it will cut production by 1.5 million barrels a day, which stopped the falling price of crude barrels which is at $67.50 now, but the prices at he pump keep dropping!
I don't think it's the election, I think it's just good ol' supply and demand. People are driving a lot less this year in general, and the economy here and all around the world is slowing/contracting. Less economic activity = less energy use.
