You people want to bash Bush everytime you can but do a fast Google search on the subject and the history on the issue almost always goes back to fixing something Clinton did !

You might have a point there, if it was true.
Shame that it isn't true.
Look at the numbers: In the summer of 2000, gas prices spiked to a high of $1.83, the highest it had been in over a decade. In fact, as I recall, there were rumours amongst the tinfoil crowd that the oil boys had conspired to cause problems at the pumps that could be used against Gore.
Honestly, you people that pull numbers out of your ass and parade them around as fact when the real numbers can be found with a 5 minute google search.
