May want to research OPEC , they control the gas prices... But the decline in the stock market is probably from the Democratic promise of higher taxes and the promise to get rid of the Bush tax cuts in January... We will also start seeing a trend in the economy . Prices will go up and so will unemployment . Good business sense but bad for the consumer... can't wait till 2007 , can you..

The prices are going up because we love to use gasoline so much, and they know that we will pay for it. The companies love to have their pockets get bigger with all the profit over 2 billion last year, yeah right their cost is up.. sure!
Until we change to alternative fuels like Brazil or Venezuela, we are simply OWNED by the oil companies.

I seriously doubt that. One of the reasons that our gas prices were so high was that a lot of countries that give us oil were really, really pissed off at us. I think the president of Venezuela actually called Bush the devil at one point. He's much happier now that congress is controlled by democrats. If there is any change in gas prices (which I doubt), they will go down...not up.

Only if the Democrats increase gas taxes.

I believe that the price of gas dropping was a Bush/Cheney scheme and that regardless of who won, the prices will start going up again soon.

No. Remember it's the Texas Republicans that are in the pockets of the Oil corporations.

There is of course no correlation or evidence to support that.
It's inevitable no matter who won the elections that they are going to go back up
