the beginning of the year gas prices have lowered AND have held steady for the last two months with very little fluctuations. This hasn't happened for as long as I can remember. It has always jumped 25-30 cents at a time then slowly creeped down until the next spike. Does this seem strange to anyone ? Is it possible the oil industry is keeping prices steady to benefit trump. Mmm mmm ?
