It's interesting to note that these figures are for the 3rd quarter;
before the election season rollback of gas and diesel prices really
began.

Funny you should blame the roll back on the election season. CNN, normally
not your most 'conservatively biased' network, had a short special on
either last night or the night before.

Bottom line - the administration had *nothing* to do with the dropping of
oil prices.

Of course, you've managed to slip a little political statement into your
'boating' post. But, it's wrong.
