Err, what planet are you buying gasoline on? Yasee, Bob, when they
go from $3.89 to $3.99 in two days, that's "rising," not falling. And
what did voting Democrat have to do with gasoline prices anyway? Do
you or anyone else actually think that whomever is elected will have
any impact whatsoever on fuel prices? Wait a sec...maybe whomever's
elected in Iraq, Saudi Arabia, etc. may have a bearing but not here.

Let's not forget that the Republicans (with the help of a few Dems from
auto and oil producing states) fought tooth and nail to prevent any
increase in the CAFE standards. Anyone stuck with a 13 MPG SUV has Bush
to thank for that.

I will say this: when I tallied to 2002 vote that tabled tightening the
regs, I found that among the few Republican dissenters (mainly from New
England) was John McCain.
