Gasoline prices doubled under Bush-Cheney until a month ago when they were 15% behind in the polls. Then prices mysteriously plummeted. Bushies have the power to do that. Usually they jacxk up the prices and make excuses for it. Now they're desperate so they lower them. Same thing they did after Jeffords switched parties and when the congress questioned the big oil CEO's. Those weeks the prices plummeted. But those were the only times until now.

Bob Woodward reports in "Bush At War" that he overheard Saudi Prince Bandar offering Bush to drop oil prices before the 2004 election if he needed it done. That is a smoking gun. That proves it can and is done whenever they need it. And it's being done now. But don't be fooled. Right after the election it will go right back up again. So fill up your tank on Nov. 6.

Why don't you look up how much biz Goldman has had tossed their way by the Fed and the Treasury not to mention other "minor" stuff.

They are a star member of the PPT.

One of the mistakes people make when talking about fuel is that they do not recognize the high taxation on the product. Gas can be purchased before taxes at around $1.50 per gallon in parts of the country...then add your 20% tax on it to bring it up to $1.8 in this example.
