its bush's... oh never mind.
i believe it droped so quickly because the refineries were down which made a large surplus of oil. now the refineries are back up and pumping out product. They'll go up again  |

It probably dropped so quickly for a few reasons.
1) Speculation that the hurricanes would do tremendous damage to the refinery and distribution infrastructure caused it to spike, but damage was less than expected.
2) The oil industry realized it had a massive PR problem and worked prices down quickly so as to avert political disaster.

people tend to stay home more in the winter so gas goes down and home heating oil goes up.  |
no signature required.
