How long will it take gas prices to fall? Much longer than it took for them to rise to record levels, I'll bet.
Effing speculators and gougers.
Follow Ups:
I want my piece of the pie now.
Biden got ALL of the blame when the prices rose so if they fall will those same people give him ALL of the credit? Something tells me that won't happen LOL.
"Biden got ALL of the blame when the prices rose"
Really? Show us. According to some here, it was because of greedy oil companies.
Do tell.

Riddle me this ?
Explain why the only times we had over $6/gal gas, Biden was in the WH ???
Strange it never happened when he wasn't in the WH.

Maybe this is Biden's way of creating farm jobs for illegal aliens ???
The farmers won't be able to fuel their farm implements so they will have to hire non-Americans to work for cheap on the D'plantation.

30 cents more in just 2 days - $6/gal
Blame the (D)...

And CALIFORNIA is still lurking nearly +2$ over the 'national average'.......OK! Make it a buck and a half. Many places down in the 3$ range.
We are STILL the most expensive place to buy gas. Even more expensive than Hawaii or Alaska...Or any place on the East Coast, for that matter.
And Yes we ARE highly taxed, but not enough to make up THAT insane difference.
Too much is never enough
some people just don't want to do anything more than complain, and blame others for their uninformed choices, , and the politicians owned by the oil companies are glad of it.
One example of the culture of greed . Standard oil used to run it's own ships, probably to avoid unions, I don't know if they still do. A captain for that company has spent a lot of time at sea working for the company, a hard life. Because as you become more valuable to the ship, the more time you are expected to stay aboard.
it is a very responsible sought after position and pays well, including the retirement pay. Chevron was infamous for sending a riding captain along about six months before a captain was to retire, to try and write them up, fire them and deny them the retirement pay. It's not like they are short of cash over there, just how they do business.
The gasoline at the gas station, the Jet-A at the airport, the kerosene, the grease, the plastics, etc. were not made from oil purchased in the past couple of days. If lower oil prices become a trend rather than a blip, end product prices will also come down.

Of course that's higher than the prices you are bitching about.
Next year it will be more - for only one reason. It's not complicated.
It's a global market and the OPEC-ers were refusing to open the taps but they are starting to ease up on that stance. It's also true that the oil companies weren't in a hurry to produce more with their profits so high. But it gets more complicated because even if they wanted to produce more, there's a labor shortage.
But the bottom line is, they're in no hurry to produce more.
They were added to rides in D.C. this week. I wonder if they'll go away any time soon.
gas stations cant raise price as fast as they would like when oil goes up and therefore must recoup losses on way down.

A penny is not too much, but it is a GOOD trend.
Gotta squeeze out those profits for as long as possible I guess.
Our gas prices have been unchanged for 4 days now. They're not going up anymore, but they're not going down, either.
Oil is a commodity (subject to speculation/manipulation), and commodities are traded on futures. People are trading agricultural crops that haven't even been planted yet. That oil that hit $145/barrel is still in the ground. The stuff in the tanks under your local gas station is probably still the same gas that they paid $2.50/gal for a couple weeks ago.
