All this discussion on who makes how much, and why prices vary so much, and who's fault is the price of gasoline mandated by is WAY over what my poor thought process can comprehend. What I do know is that I'm headed for central South Dakota early Sunday morning, and would be both happy and surprised if prices are the same a week later as they are going out. I can't help myself for thinking the elections are more of an influence on current oil prices than anything else. Prices have dropped in NE Wisconsin around 50 cents/gal in the past month, a steady decline of 10 or more cents/week. Election coming Tuesday; yes I cast an absentee ballot.
