Gas prices almost always drop this time of year due the end of driving season and basic supply and demand. It didn't happen last year because of the hurricanes in the gulf interrupting production and supply. With the hurricane season this year thus far a complete nonfactor, it makes total sense that prices would be dropping. If the Iranian situation heats up, oil will rise in price, but over just the last few weeks it has come down 8-9 dollars from 77 to under 68 today.
