If memory serves, the last time that the oil industry was hammered about fuel prices was right after katrina, when barrels of oil suddenly jumped to over $70 bucks a barrel because of fears of 'supply'. So seeing that we get most of our oil from comes from the western hemisphere, like canada, mexico, and south america it would only make sense that if we were suddenly trucking in millions of barrels of oil from iraq (of which we only get 19% from the middle east anyway) then supply would not be an issue, oil prices would drop in the US therefore making gas prices drop instead of rising like they have the last few weeks.
