And,  Iran calls for new cut in OPEC oil output

Remember, the less they output, the more we pay.  Iran is raising our gas prices, much like the Saudis lowered them before the Nov elections.

Tell us about why it was so darn good until election day, then?

Seems like a purty big coincidence.  bush1 works so closely with the saudis, the saudis control output which controls prices, low prices are good for economy right before a close election in which bush1's son will benefit greatly...  You see why people are suspicious of this circle?  If the repubs would have won the congress, it would have been two more years of $10B oil prifot quarters.

because summer demand ceased and the was surplus oil on the market, refineries worldwide are running at full capacity, which is why any decrease in production such as damage to the refineries from katrina result in drastic increase in prices, a 2% decrease in production will have notable effects on oil prices.  a 2% raise in prices wont result in any conservation, so therfore, prices need to be raised further to curb demand even minimally.

if it is a republican conspiracy to manipulate gas prices, although highly unlikely, if you knew what it takes to facilitate oil market fluctuations, good...whatever helps get them in office.

Wait until they get around to topping up the SPR... something they've been dragging their feet on...  :o

Russia is also raising prices as well.
