Thanks to the world's smartest consumers, oil companies began using $100 bills to heat their pools after seeing the latest sales figures. Detroit Free Press reports: Lower gas prices spur rebound in truck sales. Oil execs were heard to say:
Of course oil prices will remain low until they're not. Also, according to our automotive accountants, it makes most sense to keep your F-250s and Silverados running 24/7. In case you need them. In case of a terror attack, you can be assured that you won't have to waste any time starting your truck and be able to get away. Oh, darlin', I dropped a $1,000. Oh, forget it.The timing of lowered gas prices sure is questionable since Detroit was in the toilet and really needed something to spur on sales and, of course, the election.
Think gas prices and election time are related?
The oil companies do this so that we will not produce are own oil. Almost puts us to sleep think we are getting a great deal on to kick the price back up later. In the us we really need to look at different type of fuel source and give the oil companies a big kick in the balls

Read it for a few days and get educated about this thing called the oil market. Maybe then you will stop with the perpetuation of the media myth called "gas price manipulation"
