WilliamTell Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 lol I don't think it had an effect on the election favoring the GOP either way, but it could've been possible that was their intentions but I'd like to believe not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Gas prices go down every fall as companies are able to switch to cheaper gas blends with higher vapor pressure, and start to go back up in the winter as things get cold and heating demand goes up. This is the normal yearly cycle the way the market is set up right now. It just so happens that elections are in the fall too, so people jump to conclusions.

kapkomet Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Add to the fact that there were no storms this year to interrupt supply. And don't forget your favorite emirs of OPEC. We need to send them some thank you cards for the cheap gas for the last two months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Prawn Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 I noticed they went up, but I intently watching my ComEd bill to see what this 20% hike will look like (and then another one sometime next year if they get what they want). ComEd and People's Gas (or Energy, whatever they are calling themselves this year) can go jump of a cliff, freaking criminals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapkomet Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 I agree. TXU here kept asking for rate increases last year when the Nat. Gas prices climbed... do you think they asked for reductions when the price went down? Hell no. Bastards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides if you had read a newspaper for anything like the last month to 6 weeks, you would have heard OPEC crying about this, and them talking about cutting product to artificially shore up prices.
