Then why in the weeks leading up to every presidential election, no matter which party is in office, are gas prices the lowest that they have been the entire year? Pretty much every time it seems. Right now it is less than $3 a gallon by me for the first time in a couple years. Maybe even lowest since pre-election 2020.

They can affect it short term if they flood the market with oil from the strategic reserves to increase supply. You'll run out eventually though.

Those sneaky petes!
I hope this election, one of the candidates is finally going to promise to tax the rich people their fair share and cut taxes on the middle and lower classes. Why hasn't any candidates ever proposed that during previous elections before?

They actually aren't saying anything this election.

I had no idea that beans were cheaper now.
Yay!
We can produce gas at a lower cost now!

The oil companies lower them to make sure everyone can drive to the polls.
Which I did when I went to the strip club last night.
You know.
For the poll dancing!
