What's the theory behind the precipitous drop in prices in late 2008? And what was the supposed cause of the spike conveniently during the spring and summer before the election.
I don't tend towards conspiracies, but I've often wondered if gas prices were rigged to get Obama in office, just as I wonder if the financial crisis and the money market crash wasn't a Soros inspired disaster to elect the socialist messiah...
You probably hit the nail directly on the head with that theory.
