What a surprise! Gas prices that dropped dramatically during the week or so before the election made a big jump up again one day after the election.

He wants gas prices to mirror europes prices and force us to quit buying F150s etc.
all of his friends have their money in greeny-weeny power projects that can't supply what we need to expand industry.

That's strange, we just dropped another four cents to $3.15.

It hit about 3.05 here before it bounced back up. Diesel has come down, I noticed. It was around 4.35  last week and is now about 4.09.

Went up about $0.30 the day before the election here, so no conspiracy in Ohio...

Anyone who thinks the president or his cronies can control fuel prices at the pump like that just doesn't understand how the petroleum market works.
