Not true. Crude oil are only part of the reason gas is so expensive right now and the increase in crude prices is only partialy demand driven.
The only way to lower gas prices is to lower the demand for gas. Gas prices will rise until demand falls. Hopefully the slide in SUV sales continues, that would be a good first step. Skipping the drive thru would also help as would driving less of course.
