If gas prices were high because of greedy oil company gouging when they were rising to nearly $4/gal., why did those same greedy oil companies decide to drop prices below $3/gal. just in time for an election? Would not Democrats fared even worse in the election with higher gas prices? Republicans would have made Obama's energy policies, including the blocking of the Keystone pipeline, an even bigger campaign issue.

How about it oil company price gouging monopoly conspiracy theorists? Do you care to explain why gas prices have been dropping so much? If we are at the mercy of greedy oil companies, what are they up to by dropping prices so much? Are they in league with Obama and were the price drops a ploy to help Democrats retain control of the U.S. Senate?

No, they are in relation to the oversupply of gasoline, the US producing more oil, oil prices dropping globally, and people driving more fuel efficient vehicles relieving the demand on supply, while driving less after summer and the vacation season, winter gasoline grades are cheaper. Of course, those facts don't play into your politics, so you are left in a quandary trying to tie the dropping prices to suit your politics.
