Ah, I see.... Trump just tweeted that he essentially gave everyone lower gas prices, so in turn his minions post the same thing here...... without fact checking.

Most trust the Trump Twitter lies more than anything from the evil media
1. Gas prices were cheaper under Obama, but it was because of advances in technology.
2. Obama's policies had nothing to do with those advances in technology.
3. Therefore, low gas prices under Obama had nothing to do with Obama.
Correct, if you can name a single policy implemented under Obama that was beneficial to the fossil fuel industry I'm listening.
Quote:
1. Gas prices are dropping under Trump, and it's because he's pro-fossil fuel.
2. Trump's pro-fossil fuel policies are responsible for the falling gas prices.
3. Therefore, low gas prices under Trump are a credit to Trump.
You either did not read the post you quoted or did not comprehend it. What I specifically said was "I wouldn't give Trump credit for low gas prices by himself...." Trumps energy polices are pro fossil fuel that will help keep gas prices low or lower them.
You wish to argue his policies are not beneficial to the fossil fuel industry?

...but pooh-poohed any notion that Obama might have created an environment that allowed the "advances in technology" that led to low gas prices. .
The fracking boom was already in motion before Obama took office. The only thing his administration did was not get in the way and even that is giving him more credit than what is due depending on how you want to define getting in the way.

If anything, I've noticed a slight dip here (the Houston metro). On Gas Buddy, the cheapest I'm seeing that I'm certain is a credit card price is $2.13, and at least one station has a cash price of $1.96.
I've also now seen a slight tip. $2.33 a gallon just turned into $2.29 a gallon
Please, summer is coming to a close and with it gas prices go down. Who are you planning to blame when they go back up next Summer?
Let me guess--Obama, Hillary or Joe Biden.
Ours is $3 per gallon. Once in a while it bounces down to $2.60.
