They seem to have levelled for the last two weeks or so.

If lower gas prices were a campaign contribution by the NWO, then they must be crying over lost profits right now. We'll see if they climb back to "record-breaking" profit levels or not.

But have dropped a couple of cents in the past day or so.

2. up-Up-UP here, and more of the same for the future, foreseeable and otherwise.
So coincidental, isn't it?

13. I don't think they'll go way up high like before
Prices were record-profit-setting high before because the oil companies knew they had a free hand, with Bush in the WH and Republicans controlling both houses.

Now that Dems have the houses--and investigatory powers--the oil companies won't be so brazen.

15. Creeping up a bit here
Long Island, NY. Seeing slightly higher prices at the pump. Not surprised at all.

16. Northern NM
Gas prices fell the day after Labor Day weekend, of course. They have gone down every week since then until last week. They have not gone up, but they have not gone down, either. Changes are usually on Wednesday or Friday, and the week is not over yet.

19. Big Oil and Bushco are getting their last licks in
It's their last chance to make ordinary Americans pay for electing Democrats to Congress. So, they're jacking up gas and oil prices as payback. I bet in January, when the Dems take over, Big Oil will start shitting a humongous collective brick and gas prices will fall once again.

20. My station went up 3 cents a gallon while I stood there..
(happily, I had already started pumping at the "old" price)
There is no political capital to be made by keeping prices down now.
