The fact that Obama cut production in the gulf over the BP fiasco did not and does not dictate future drilling.

Little things drive oil prices and still smaller things drive gasoline prices. Friday night changes the price of gasoline regardless of the oil prices, A holiday changes the price of gasoline regardless of the oil prices. Gasoline prices are changed to what the market will bare, not by the supply on hand.
