How fortuitous for all of us that the price of oil conveniently went down before the election, lowering gas prices. That was why they went down, right? Not because the oil companies tried to keep Republicans in power & continue their carte-blanche control over the White House and its rubber-stamp Congress.
Most Dem's predicted that gas prices would go up again after the election, & Repub's were saying that's nonsense. President Bush can't control oil prices, so there's no connection. True he (and Lord Cheney) can't directly control gas prices. Few thought they could. No, the oil companies themselves lowered prices to make us all feel like Bush & his Republican Congress, their proxies, were looking out for us.
Convenient too, how oil prices rose again right after the election. Poor oil companies couldn't do a thing about it. Right?
Finally, G. W. Bush and the Oil Company's representative Dick Cheney are lame ducks. Kinda like the ones on the beach after the Exxon Valdez affair.

Bgood & Mister El, you just keep beleiving that nonsense. "Demand" is high when the oil companies want it to be.
Summer - lots of cars on the road, high demand & higher prices.
Winter - Folks need heating oil, high demand & higher prices.
The only time prices go down is when Big Oil wants to manipulate the market or the public.

No surprise there man
It all relates to Macro Economics and the idea of fiscal and monetary policy
They clearly affected the gas prices to make them seem lower in the short run, but in the long run, the prices wil once again inflate, as they have, and we are here to suffer
what can u say, we elect our officials, we have to deal with their crap sometimes

confident in time, we've had checklist severe fees, they arrive down for the elections, the Dems will attempt to maintain them down, yet Oil businesses will attempt to strengthen, The far precise would be blaming it on the liberals and Clinton and the uneducated will say, dam that Clinton, he continues to be screwing up the rustic. The far precise will objective uneducated missguided and no self asteem human beings and save telling them Clinton and the Liberals are why they're so unhappy, and that they are going to believe because of fact they're faulty and no self asteem and faulty. that's coming from somebody who thinks the two events have center of the line people who're stable, in no way stick to any occasion blindly and consistently question the two sides. in basic terms when you consider that 2000 i believe we've had a miles precise company ran government who taught hate, and actual did no longer do something for the traditional human beings, they say they are going to or bypass a small bill that had a bill related to it that screwed us extra.

No surprise at all. The Republicans have been amazingly skillful at manipulation and election fixing. Fortunately, a majority of the American people have seen through their self-serving, elitist, macheavelean, evil behavior.

Not at all. Gas prices always go up in the winter. It is because more crude is refined into home heating oil, leaving less available for gasoline.

It's supply and demand. Gas prices started going up around Thanksgiving and they will continue to until after January 1st.
