Still I believe it is possible that gas prices can drop from the local maximum of 4.10 to 0.04 $ in the US, if energy prices dropped 100x. Probably the Oil & Coal industry would be the first to install FF reactors, in order to survive for some time, and the demand for gasoline wont drop until EV cars and infrastructure are much more common.

Not possible. Processing energy costs are not 100% of the cost of gasoline, or even close. Maybe one order of magnitude, max, but not two orders reduction.
However, the prices would start to drop immediately once FF viability was confirmed. Almost all purchasing is done on a future anticipated demand and supply basis — traders and refiners best guesses.
