Yes.

Do you think lower price is because of the election?

Is this to gain votes one way or another?

No!!

The lower price is due to the price of petroleum dropping around 60% /barrel caused by the global economic slowdown.

Shell regular gas locally is now $2.69 /gal which is a drop of $2.00 from the peak.

Folks, it's not that they don't give us the news here in the Ozarks.

You can believe what you want to believe, what you are wanted to believe, what you have been led to believe, but that is one issue weighing heavily on the incumbent, because things went to ---- on his watch, a month ago that has suddenly become a non-issue.

I thought that my meaning would be obvious, but from a few confused looks, I am guessing it is not.

I happened to stumble onto an Op Ed piece in a recent magazine from our electric coop, an article also pertaining to the issue of the high price of energy and the failure of us to address it, starting in the '70s. Here is what it said:

Democracy works best when there is a problem to solve. When things are going well, people become disinterested in politics and quit participating in the process.

Today you don't hear the public outcry about the high price of gasoline you heard just a month or two ago. It is not the lead story on every newscast. In the minds of the masses, that's another problem solved, another problem that does not have to be politicked.

There's no telling how many votes that will swing to the Big Oil/Big Business Party rather than away from it.

Just guessing, but let's follow the price of gasoline after the election.

Just paid a $1.77 gal at the local costco. Damn amazing if you ask me. From $4.50 to $1.77 in less than six months.

Right near my house the only prices I see is $2.29 but there are a few at $2.19 if I drive a bit further. When I droped my son off at School in NJ this past Sunday I paid $1.69 and I saw it cheaper afterwards at a $1.67. $25 filled my large tank that had alittle over an Eighth of a tank left.

We went from $4.65 /gal to $1.79 for Shell. Prices will stay down as long as we are in a global recession. They will go back up when the global economies are in recovery. When and how far they will go back up is anybody's guess.

Will it keep dropping? Or will it stabilize?
