Crude has risen (and fallen) over the ten year period. Gasoline is refined from crude oil, hence the price of gasoline is directly related to the price of crude. Crude for various reasons.

So, very little can be controlled by a president as far as oil prices go except to start a war?
Kinda like what both Bush presidents did? In oil rich areas of the world...then sent in their buddies companies to clean up the mess...
WMD!!! Poor little Kuwait needs help because they are getting bullied!!!
Why is it that we don't go to war with other countries around the world that have similar issues, but no oil?
If the Bush family and their oil background never started those wars in the middle east, where would the cost of oil be at right now?
I find it hard to believe it would be nearly as high as it is now, but I guess I could be wrong.
