Yup, large corporations only target national candidates. No reason to sink money into particular races or to affect prices differently in different regions. That's why Ohio prices fell exactly the same amount as prices in every other State.

People tend not to vote based on their own economic situation. A lot of the time people totally ignore whether they are doing better or worse financially and politicians hardly even mention those sorts of things during campaign ads or stump speeches. In fact, how well people are doing financially is so unimportant, it's likely why most political campaigns focus on the favorite color of each candidate instead.

it's truly beyond silly to me to think that exxon et al would lose billions of dollars in revenues to keep incumbents in office, regardless of who those incumbents are.

I mean really!

Lose billions of dollars? hahahahah

Exxon never loses billions of dollars. If they reduce the price, they don't lose any money at all. They defer revenue, sure... and how much is favorable regulation and a weak oversight worth compared to the time value of money on that deferred revenue?

Maybe something to do with oil sands, cost of living, and social security. More likely it is a false flag and gasoline prices are crisis actors.

the usa is producing more crude than Saudi Arabia. The first time since the seventies. Thats why. well at least 90% why.

you don't realize that spending money is a cost? and a cost directly impacts bottom line profits? You think that oil co's would rather manipulate global oil than take a politician to lunch? come on.

again, your claim that each and every incumbent in office is so much more valuable than a new incumbent that oil companies (both domestic and foreign) collude to manipulate global oil prices so as to alter the price of gas (which you said earlier isn't tied to oil prices) which in turn maintains the status quo of politicians in office is preposterous.

You're welcome!

Opec is supposed to work like a cartel
the policy of saudi arabia its to reduce is production to keep the price at a given level, but i don't think that opec is still powerful nowadays

and USA wants to piss russia off

Your answer is simply two words: SHALE OIL
