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.
