Ending Iran's 47-year war-by-proxies against the US will be well worth gas prices having come (past tense, at this point) close to LIEden's highest.

I think that EarlG is hoping that if spreads BS like this that the overlords will promote him from insane asylum warden up to a member of the demonrat propoganda arm.

Not to mention how Iran would have used their nukes as soon as they were ready. Overall, I think that's a worse situation than gas prices. Plus, today's gas prices will come down as the situation stabilizes and the markets adjust. Obama and Biden's gas prices, which were caused by EPA overkill,  shut down pipe lines, impact studies that took years, killing off nuclear power, were never intended to decrease. Their end game was to dictate how much and what we drove.

Gas prices here in the area I live in have dropped from $3.59/dollar to $3.46/dollar.  Now that isn't a huge drop, but it isn't a continuing rise to where it was when Biden was in. So, if it keeps going down what are they going to yell about then?

I've seen a similar drop here, a week ago, from $5.40 to $5.26 (same station, 87 octane, credit price that I've been observing and paying for a couple of months). Looking at crude oil prices, the grade I've been watching on and off that had peaked at $115/barrel and had for several weeks been $103-$107, is, this AM, $83.85.

I think gas prices will be going down, more for DU-folk to "feel dirty" to admit, :-) . That said, the high percentage of domestic oil usage that cushioned the gas price rise, some, will also ease the fall. IF the Iranian situation continues to go reasonably well, I think that in a few weeks I'll be paying in the $4.40-$4.60 per gallon range (my guess and a tenner will get you ...).
