When gas prices fell from the stupid high prices a couple of years ago it has nothing to do with supply/demand.
Funny how that happened RIGHT AFTER then-President Bush removed executive restrictions on an assload of territory, eh? IIRC, that happened during the summer. "Speculation doesn't cause price jumps" my arse.

Speculators drove it up to near $150 before and it'll happen again. Remember when the oil analysts and others had us believe it was a supply issue and would never drop below $115??
