While visiting Dan in Wichita, I saw something not seen in a long time:
Gasoline for $1.99 a gallon.
Most of the gas stations here are selling regular in the low $2's.
My prediction is that those prices will evaporate soon after Election Day.
Whatever ticks me off or tickles my fancy today: politics, news and society, music, movies, books, cooking, autism, and anything else bright and shiny in the world of ideas.

I agree. Now that Congress has seen how much American consumers are willing to pay for gasoline--over $4.00/gal, without a substantial reduction in consumption--it won't be long before they'll hang a new tax on it.
I think it will to up right after election day, with no new legislation involved. My cynical belief is that the oil companies are holding the price down to avoid being yet another thorn in the Republican Party flesh. When the votes have been cast, that motivation disappears.
