It's been just over five months since gas prices nudged up against $4 gallon for regular unleaded — and after a summer of up-and-down bounces, the average price is on a decline, according to Marketwatch.com.
According to AAA.com, the average price of a gallon of 87-octane was $3.87 as of Sept. 28, down a penny from Thursday and five cents lower than the average a week ago.
Locally, just one store — Ammouris Gas and Food Mart, 1064 Hope St., Bristol — is offering regular unleaded for less than $3,90 today, according to the Bristol-Warren Patch Commute page.

You do realize that the US already exports millions of barrels per day to other countries rather than keeping it here. It's called an international market

I get relief when I go over to Massachusetts to fill up. If the people in this "BLUE" state would just wake up, they would see that this President is responsible for these prices being so high. Won't drill, blocks transmission pipeline, exports oil overseas (first time ever we did this), and yet we don't get a break........Remember, if you re-elect this clown, you will turn him into a king and he will no longer be answerable to us.

Really, please, do some research outside of Fox News, try Google maybe..
US has always exported oil
Drilling is UP
Keystone XL takes crude from Canada to Texas for export (Not for US)

The oil companies and the governments have been raking in big dollars are they are a good part of the problem to the consumers. I read somewhere that oil companies have been given access to many large oil rich areas for minimal royalties. Drilling will be kept to a minimum because imports are flowing just fine.
In my opinion, since oil companies continue to exploit the American public, price controls should be placed on the gasoline and home heating oil prices. If the oil companies do not cooperate by restricting the supply, then the oil rich areas that the government has turned over to them, should be confiscated and given to companies who will cooperate.
