I think in the long run, gas prices will go up - there's too much
world demand and limited resources. I live in South Texas
where gas is " cheap " and it's still $2.40 a gallon. Not a lot by
world standards but still a pretty hefty price compared to a couple
of years ago. I resigned myself to paying $ 3.00 a gallon next
summer. I can either pay it or ride the bus.

The cynic in me says "yes". I would love to believe that Republicans are above that type of thing, but more and more it is becoming difficult to distinguish between the two parties.
I think Republicans feel that they are vulnerable on the high gasoline prices. That's ironic considering the Democrats have squelched domestic production and the building of new refineries.
I can't help but have this sick feeling that Republicans are manipulating prices until after the elections. It's a shame that I, as a conservative, have no political party to represent me.

Depends on the weather. Cold winters=higher gas prices.

its got nothing to do with elections... politicians don't control price of oil... where did you get an idea like that? remember last year when gas went down at exactly this same time and it kept going down til december. it will probably be the same this year.

No. There will still be a glut of gasoline on the market.
