Gas Prices and the 2008 Presidential Election

Posted by: frets in charts, economy, gas, politics, tags: ,

Ever since my last post, I’ve watched the gas price at local stations keep coming down!  What a welcome relief.  It seems like the only thing coming down faster is the stock market (ba dum bum).  But seriously folks, I wanted to see how this year stacks up against prior years, so here it is:

U.S. Gas Prices Leading up to the 2008 Election

U.S. Gas Prices Leading up to the 2008 Election

Now THAT’s a clear downward trend prior to the elections!  There are some plausible explanations for this dramatic (possibly record-setting) drop in gas prices (other than manipulation by the powers that be).  And without corroborating evidence from prior years, I’m inclined to believe them.  Besides, President Bush already demonstrated his office’s inability to influence crude prices & supply.
