“The closer the election, the lower the price of gas”
Gil Cranberg rightly “Asks This” on the Nieman Foundation Watchdog site.
I’ve been regularly frothing at the mouth within my own small circle - only to have “them” say things such as “oh, you’re just a bleeding heart liberal” and so on (excuse me - that would be bj, not I!) BTW, keep in mind I live in a state in which if you are ANYTHING but a card-carrying Republican you are LESS than a second class citizen.
So this is a nice affirmation of my own middle-of-the-road scepticism proved by outside validation, wouldn’t you say?

Yeah, when you can track the price of a barrel against the price of a gallon, and see a trend, and alluva sudden the trend is broken (two times– early this summer and now) then it isn’t your imagination, and it isn’t you turning into a liberal (fat chance . . . )
And the article’s by a gal who’s a Civil Libertarian. Nuff said?

We also wait with fingers crossed and wallets open–hoping that the price of silver & the price of gold continue to drop. The price of gold is as high now as it was at the end of the Carter Administration. Poor Ronnie, all that work.
The price of gas should be down to around $1.79 per gallon on the morning of November 7.

I expect that the price of fuel here will still be about $3.00 per gallon on Nov. 7…. at this point, only CA is higher than we are at the pump.

Geez, we were up close to 3 but never went over. Now we’re down below $2.40, at least on the other side of the river. I could never figure out why PA gas is always so much higher, usually at least 10 cents a gallon difference.

Official Pumps Online, a blog I read regularly which provides energy updates, a look at autos and automakers, and news of interest in the fuel production industry, posts today that Prudhoe East should be back online within a week. I sure hope that helps Utah’s fuel prices!
