Which is not true either, as the dip we've seen over the past several weeks can attest. We've deeply tapped into our reserves (much more than expected as released yesterday) to achieve this. It seems like it might be short sighted and short lived.

Also if the president has no effect on gas prices why was ours groveling at the feet of the Saudi Prince?
