"..Have your imaginary conspiracy theories, I live and work in the real world...."

So do I. You still don't see that there is a difference between the people that sell us oil and the people that market the oil here on our shores.

Tell you what: if I am right, we will see gas prices start to fall right after the November elections.

If not, I was wrong. How's that...?

if I am right, we will see gas prices start to fall right after the November elections.

You would be able to tell soon than that. Gasoline prices would need to move higher separate from crude oil prices first.

If gasoline prices fell after the elections but crude oil prices were falling as well, it would not prove your imagination correct.

You have never tried to answer the question, if they have the ability and control to raise gasoline prices separate from crude oil, why wasn't it done before? Also, why would it ever go back down?
