no. the timing is coincidental.

1) summer driving season is over

2) recessions are always deflationary because there's less industrial demand for raw materials (we're in a recession, we don't buy as much rubber dog$hit from China as we used to, Chinese cut production of said rubber dog$hit, Chinese use less oil). oil and gasoline are not the only industrial commodities that have come down ... look at aluminum, steel, copper, etc. all down bigtime.
