In five days, gas prices have dropped more than 10-cents. On October 22 a regular gallon of gas was $3.25, 20-cents less than a week prior to then. Today, the price for the Los Angeles area averages out to $3.137. In fact, some stations, near and far, are changing out that 3 for a 2: "We've never seen local gas prices come down this fast in such a short period," Auto Club spokesperson Jeffrey Spring said last Friday. "Gas stations in Buena Park, Chula Vista, Visalia and a few other local cities are the first to post sub-$3 gas prices, and we could see many more over the next week if this decline continues."

i find it strange that no one in the media seems to be mentioning that this lowering of gas prices is COINCIDENTALLY happening just before the election... just as lower prices immediately preceded the last election, and the last one... anyone else see a pattern?
I don't think its too much of a stretch to say that this is an attempt to influence voters in favor of the Republican ticket. (And they will likely go right back up again after the election)
I've noticed it too, heavymeta. I'll look into it for ya.
