SINGLE SOURCE
The evidence confirms that oil prices fell below $90 a barrel (via a web search headline) and that Brent crude fell significantly, but it does not provide a single, consistent snapshot confirming that *all three* conditions (oil < $90, market at new highs, gas down 8 cents) occurred simultaneously in the period referenced by the claim. The evidence is fragmented regarding the specific combination of events.
