2012 Fuel Costs

Happy Gourmand · 03-02-2012, 01:58 PM

No doubt politics and Wall Street are having some effect of the prices we see at the pump. But I also wonder if all the bull crap over in the Middle East is making the biggest difference?
At least one candidate (who is no longer a candidate) promised us $2 a gallon gas if he was to become our next President.
Would you agree that our current President would lower the price to $2 a gallon before the November election, if he could, to guarantee re-election?
IMO I think the President has less to do with gas prices than any on the other 3 reasons mentioned above.
