Gas prices just keep dropping around here.....

Some stations are as low as $1.69 with Oil prices per barrel higher than when it hit $2.10 a few months ago. Rigged up shit all the way. Bush has instructed the Oil companies to sit it out for another 60 days and then prices can go ballistic.

I wouldn't be surprised to see gas at $1.25 just before the election.

1. Yep. They don't even bother hiding it anymore.

ANY of their odious and unAmerican machinations.

Right out in the open and no one cares and no one seems to have the balls to stop them.

The fact that Imperial Amerika seem to be literally LAWLESS to Party Members and Cronies in the identical way as the Soviet Union was for the Commies, is even more enraging.

4. Up 10 cents around here

... in the past couple weeks at the undisclosed location in Central California, back over $2 for regular just about everywhere.

Ohwait, California doesn't matter, does it. I get it now. :(

5. $1.61 in southern Ohio

Swing state. With September's oil price locked in at $47.81/bl, this is completley transparent price fixing. My only question is when gasoline will return to its true price - after the RNC, or after the election.

6. CT is still high

it dropped a few cents in the past few weeks but not as much as I would like it.

Still paying about $1.90/gal. Hey, at least it's under 2 bucks.

But I still remember during the Clinton years when it was $0.97/gal

7. Prices are dropping in Florida.

I've seen regular below $1.90, and I know the barrel price is up.

What's happening in the other swing states? Pennsylvania, Michigan, maybe Tennessee? Can someone who knows this better than me list them?

And let's hear from you committed states too. Is there a pattern?

8. A sign of desperation--it's obvious they expected better economic news

Edited on Wed Sep-01-04 06:20 PM by linazelle

The gas prices are a last-ditch effort to be able to point to improved economic indicators right before election time. Prices dropped sharply this week in Wisconsin.

Remember when Bandar Bush denied that he would help Bush with oil prices around election time? That was in April or May and here we are, with the reductions right on schedule.

In July, prices dipped but jumped back up with the flare ups in the Middle East. Bush also swore he would not tap into oil reserves. I would not be surprised if that is what King Flip Flop has done.

Either way--whether Bandar helped or Bush tapped the reserves--they are liars and flip floppers.
