...gasoline was $1.46 a gallon.

And the highest gasoline prices were under the leadership of Carter.

And your point is?

Just another data point with which to bury Republicans next year.

Explain how the "Republicans" caused the increase in gasoline prices.

Why would gasoline prices be different today if a Democrat were in
office?

Well I'm not worried about it. Pres. Hillary Obama will get it right
back down to a "buck forty-nine" in just six months, and will have
exec. reps on a rope just like a stringer fll of blue gills.

Nobody will get the price down until we eliminate oil speculation by
investors who have absolutely no connection with the oil business.- Hide quoted text -

But I also don't know if China having more drivers on their roads int
he past two years than the precious 20 might have to do anything with
it or not.

Plus most of their electricity is supplied by oil instead of coal.


hmmmm.

All the factors add up. But, one factor should (and could) be made illegal.

If a mutual fund bids up the price of a stock, if might affect you if you
wanted to but that stock and you wished it were cheaper. But, you don't HAVE
to buy that stock. Oil, on the other hand - you have no choice if you need
to drive a car. The price is being meddled with by investors fiddling with
it for recreational purposes.
