Does the recent fall in gas prices indicate there will be more elections soon?

It means a democrat Congress has been seated with the willingness to investigate price gouging by the gas industry.

The liberals are always looking for something to complain about.

The reason has prices are going down is 1) usage is less than normal and 2) the refineries are producing it faster.

Congress nor the President had anything to do with the prices going up nor down.

If all a sudden we start using more gas, the prices will go up. Wait until summer and you will see.

ok, we could attempt this slowly. that's not continuously the certainly furnish because of the fact there's a backlog of furnish notwithstanding if that's the assumed or precieved furnish. human beings purchase "futures" popular. some human beings make investments that costs would be a definite quantity on a definite time. if it sells for extra, they make money, in the event that they sell for much less they lose money. So once you pay attention of beneficial information, investors are extra possibly to take a place, once you pay attention undesirable information that's going to sluggish it down Take immediately, Walmart annouced that they might attempt in Fl merchandising non call variety prescribed drugs for 4 funds. the inventory of another drug shop fell a great deal immediately. Walmart has not even all started merchandising it, do not know if that's going to paintings, purely reported they are going to attempt it in one state. yet human beings all started unloading different drug shop inventory questioning they are going to lose alot of organization. Did any shop lose money immediately, nope, will theylose money for the subsequent 6 months, nope, yet immediately those firms lost alot of value. so with gas costs, investors can effect the fee by alot of issues like this. And in certainly use, specific after NOV, heating oil ( additionally gas) will boost and fees circulate up. notwithstanding if it is going up each and every NOV and DEC. And frequently early spring, is going backpedal, however up in June for the summer season return and forth season. ( I continuously concept the return and forth season replace into extra grasping oil businesses yet that's purely me)

Contrary to popular believe, the drop in prices is due to the economic principle of supply and demand, and is not controlled by politicians. The relatively mild winter has caused a temporary surplus of home heating oil... but never fear, this most recent cold snap will have gas rocketing back up.

No it does not indicate an impending election . But twice already today, they tried to show a link . Absolutely craziness .

EDIT* - Wow ! Look at the first 2 responses . They need to be part of the 'No Child Left Behind' initiative . WOW man WOW !!

The elections of 2008 are upcoming and many are hitting the campaign trail now. hense this is in part to the dropping gas prices. Also, because of weather and travel conditions - demand is somewhat reduced.

I also believe people are getting smarter and not using their cars as much.

No it has to do with all of the ethanol plants that are coming on line right now, along with the plans for plug in hybrids, the oil companies are going back to their old tricks.

LOL! Isn't it the truth?

There are two things no liberal seems to be capable of grasping: basic economics and the concept of federalism.

Steve C: Sorry you find the truth "bigoted". Now go buy an Econ 101 textbook and try to learn something.

No, the prices have fallen because of global cooling... or is it warming now? I forget which it is, I will have to call my neo-lib commissar...
