Check your local station.

Could this be the October surprise? A sudden drop in gas prices 8 days before the election.

8. It's down to $2.09 in my neck of the woods
Nobody is really talking about it, honestly. The ones that are believe it's a bad sign for the economy.

9. Happens every two years at this same time... Election Season.
Don't worry, they'll shoot right back to $3.50 after the election.
