Who was manipulating gas prices?

[moddy_the_mod]

Prior to the midterms gas was $4.19 a gallon, now it's a significant amount less despite nothing changing in the supply.

And before the lefties try to get snarky, the average drop from summer blend to winter is usually $.10-$.30 but we've seen a $.40 drop.

Gas prices were high due to the Iran conflict, and while nothing physically has changed, Democrats winning the midterm elections shifted the prospect that once the democrats are in office the conflict will end. The prospect of the conflict ending influenced prices to go down. Whether they stay down will be another question that can't be answered until Democrats are in control next year.

Doesn't seem they'd try to get republicans out of office knowing how hostile the dems are to them

They back both sides so they never lose who ever wins.
