I'm with you on the conspiracy theory but I think gas drops just before an election and then will rise after it.

The downside of lower gas prices is lowered demand for alternative energy and more people driving. Or at least feeling good about driving.

When doing a quick search, I stumbled across a November, 2006 article on the Seattle Post Intelligencer web site. I was amused by the opening paragraph:

Quote:

Enjoy the price of gasoline now, because when the Saudis lower production, we could go right back to the $3 nightmare of three months ago. Washington state is especially affected -- regularly in the top 10 highest, 20 cents a gallon more than the national average ($2.42/gallon vs. national average $2.22 last week).
Oh how I wish we could return to that nightmare :)

It's all relative. People will tolerate a slow rise in price.

I went to fill up at Chevron today and it was only $2.78!! When Gary filled his car just last week it was 3.29, that's quite a drop!
