He said he expects the trend to continue, though he cautioned it's no thanks to politicians on either side despite what some Americans may believe."While many Americans may incorrectly credit the upcoming election for the declines, politicians have little influence over the strong seasonal forces that drive prices lower in autumn," DeHaan said in a media release. "With winter gasoline soon to reach the rest of California, and demand continuing to decline as Americans grapple with colder weather, the drop in demand is pushing gas prices down—not politicians on either side, as much as they might like to think they do. I expect the decline in gas prices will continue into and even beyond the upcoming election."Neighboring Ohio cities are also seeing gas prices significantly below $3, with Cincinnati averaging $2.78 per gallon, Cleveland averaging $2.87 per gallon, and and Dayton averaging $2.72 per gallon.</div></body>
