Hard to say which came first or which caused which. The bottom line is: keep demand low if you want lower gas prices. I do think crude is under-valued now, which will prohibit new E&P. That's not good.
I've had a couple of farmers tell me they are shutting down their stripper wells until the price goes back up.
