    I always feel bad for Presidents when they do this. It has zero effect on the supply at a high level or the cost at the pump. The reason they do it is so the news covers the Administration doing something and people see that coverage. The fact of the matter is that the President cannot meaningfully act in a manner that lowers the price of gas to consumers.
