Something is bothering me- Why have gas prices really dropped?

It makes no sense afaik, unless Patriots are in control and something devolution-like is going on. Let's hear it peeps.
Gas has dropped a little here in northeastern NC, but diesel hasn't. Diesel is now $2 a gallon more than regular, when diesel in the old days was cheaper than regular. There's a decent supply of gas and slack demand, so the price went down. Diesel is in short supply, and demand hasn't changed much, so the price has remained high, in the $4.60+ range.
The cheapest gas here in the last several years was April of 2020, when the virus crap caused demand to crater. $1.69 was the lowest I paid on April 20, 2020.
Gas was even lower February 11, 2016, almost a year before Trump, at $1.54 per gallon. Gas was in the lower to mid $2 range for Trump's entire term.
I keep complete records of every drop of gas I buy. I wish everyone did.
