Gas Prices Going Down?

POSTED: 9:02 a.m. EDT May 5, 2003

DAYTON, Ohio -- Drivers may finally be able to breathe a sigh of relief.

The days of high gas prices could be over.

A new survey shows the average price of gas across the country is below a $1.60 a gallon.

That's down more than six cents over the past two weeks.

Drivers in the Miami Valley can find gas for as little as a $1.21 a gallon.

Analysts expect prices to keep dropping in the coming weeks.

State, national gasoline price going down
Portland Business Journal - November 3, 2005
Gasoline prices continue to drop, returning to pre-Hurricane Katrina levels.

The national average, $2.48, is 58 cents lower than the all-time high set on Sept. 5, said Elliott Eki, AAA Oregon public affairs director, adding the Oregon average, $2.57, is 33 cents lower than the record high set on Sept. 9. The national and Oregon average prices, though, are still 45 cents higher than one year ago.

For the first time in several months, the price of crude oil closed below $60 per barrel on Monday, after hovering slightly above that mark in recent weeks. Some analysts suggest that because of current conditions, the national average gasoline price could fall below

- David R. Baker, Chronicle Staff Writer
Wednesday, October 13, 2004



Surging crude oil prices smacked California drivers at the pump this month as the state's average cost for a gallon of gas jumped 25 cents to $2.34.

Bay Area commuters pay even more -- $2.36 -- and face near-daily price increases of 3 or 4 cents, according to figures released Tuesday by the AAA of Northern California auto club.

Answer 3

Bush is good friends with Prince Bandar. The Prince has admitted that it is his countries policy to aid in the support of the incombient party in Washington...he has said this on 60 minutes rather confidently. Also, when you look at how the gas prices would go up after a rumor of a hurricane or a terrorist plot, and yet, the recent plot to blow up all the planes, and even the war in Lebanon saw prices go down steadily. The reason they go down during the fall in an election year is becaue the oil companies have been exploiting every reason to raise prices over the last year or so, and they can afford to lower their profits in order to maintain a Republican majority in congress. They know Democrats are not going to be leniant on environmental concerns, emissions, and have suggested profit caps for oil companies. The oil companies and the suppliers in the Middle East have an invested interest in keeping Bush happy. Plain and simple.

Answer 4

Do you suppose Tony Blair and Queen Elizabeth are in cahoots with George Bush, so that British Petroleum is retailing gasoline in The U.S. for half of what it costs in the UK? Vladiimir Putin must be in on the deal, because Russian Lukoil is down too. Also Jacques Chirac of France, because Total gasoline is down. Same for Royal Dutch Shell, and even Citgo from Hugo Chavez's Venezuela. DAMN!!!! It's a WORLDWIDE CONSPIRACY by the Neo-Cons, to win the election!!!!!!!!

(Or do you think it might just be.......... supply and demand?)

Answer 5

um OPEC runs how much gas costs. Where do people come up with the idea that the government decides gas prices? Republicans have no say in the price of gas. Europe gas is a whole lot more expensive so we are lucky...it could be worse.

Answer 6

Guess what happens the first Tuesday of November. You guessed right if you said "mid-term elections." Guess who controls Bush. Right again, if you said "Big Oil." Guess who will be happy and vote Republican if gas prices are down. If you said "the voters," right again. Guess what will happen after the election. If you said, "gas prices will go back up," you're right again. It's all an election ploy, just like the capture of bin Laden about a week before the election will also be a ploy to get people to vote for Repiglicans.

Answer 7

The lower prices are a gift from the oil companies to the Republican party which they will snatch back with interest after the mid-term elections.

Answer 8

I would be considered a rep. And it even seems Odd to me that the prices have fallen so sharply. We do have to consider the Milder hurricane season. I can tell you one thing if they Sky rocket again right after the elections there's gonna be more than just dems pissed.

Answer 9

Our gas prices went down over a dollar a gallon in the time length of just 3 weeks. You just know that is political manipulation for the upcoming elections. Good Luck ! :)

Answer 10

one word...WOOHOO!!!!
But I'm still waiting to see when the prices will sky rocket again. I don't trust the government very much, nor do I trust natural disasters (a hurricane will make the prices go up)

Answer 11

Because an election is coming up, and the Republicans are in trouble! Thus, lower gas prices.
