Do you understand that gasoline prices go up or down based on the price of oil? The price of oil has been coming way down and that is the reason that the price of gasoline is coming down. Our government has no control over the price of oil. Oil is an international commodity that is traded. The price of oil right now is $63 a barrel. If you actually know what the price of oil is going to do, you can get rich by trading oil futures. It would be the same as if you knew for sure which horse was going to win the race before the race starts. You could bet on that horse and make a lot of money.
