Energy Secretary Chris Wright on Sunday continued his public campaign of claiming that he's no prophet when it comes to gas prices while still forecasting when they'll drop.
Wright, when asked on ABC's "This Week" how long it'll be until Americans see lower gas prices, argued that oil futures are a current sign that gas prices will move "meaningfully lower," before adding, "So trust the market, certainly don't trust my predictions."

Wright's comments arrive just days after he acknowledged that the Trump administration's oil deal with Venezuela could take years to lower gas prices at home while simultaneously predicting that prices would "start to moderate" and "move down" heading into the fall.
Back in March, just weeks after the start of Trump's Iran war, Wright claimed that there'd be a "very good chance" that gas prices would drop below $3 a gallon by the summer.
By May, when confronted on "Meet the Press" over the possibility of Americans paying $5 a gallon for gas, Wright said he can't predict energy prices in the "short term or even the medium term."
Fuel prices have continued to hover over $4 a gallon since the start of the president's unpopular war of choice.
The national average for a gallon of gas is $4.14, per AAA, and the cost of diesel continues to hit record highs, reaching $5.89 a gallon, as of Sunday morning.
