Election is over GAS is up Surprise Surprise!

I know I'm wasting my energy posting this, but the elections (before and after) had virtually zero influence on gas prices.

 

I realize it's not as exciting as a dark conspiracy, but that's about all there is to it.

I think the elections did affect gas prices. But I don't think it was a 'dark conspiracy' headed by our president but more along the lines of gas companies not wanting gas prices to be an election issue. But who knows, right.

Where is it up? :confused: It is still $2.06 in Somerset. :ylsuper: I did see $2.26 in London but that was right off of I-75. I think Thanksgiving has more to do with it than who won the elections.:cry:

It raised about 8-12 cents in my part of the world.

That ain't working. OPEC has a glut of oil and prices have dropped below $60/bbl.

 

I'm guessing that it has more to do with the oil companies gouging us during the holidays like they do every year.

Ted Koppel had a special on the Discovery Channel the other night on Iran. Citizens there pay 30 cents a gallon for gasoline. :eek:

It's always more expensive at the north (KY 80/DB Parkway) exit in London. On the south end (KY 192) it was in the $2.06-$2.08 range most everywhere until this morning, but many of those stations have shot their prices up to $2.29. There are still some places — generally in the US 25 area near South Laurel HS — where the gas is still in the $2.06-$2.07 range. I expect they'll be shooting theirs up as well, but they may wait to see what the places in Corbin do.

In Paducah it went up 5 cents the day after elections, after staying at about 2.05 for WEEKS. Then dropped back to 2.05 and here in the last week it went back up to 2.15. I do agree that thanksgiving has a role in this but to me it didnt look to great when it went up the next day.
