Okay, I know we were gonna do a post - election gas price check, But......here in Ohio (northeast) prices went from 2.07 Thurs nite... to between 2.19 and 2.23 this morning. Is it maybe cause the Dems look poised to win here , so the oil companies don't feel like playing games anymore?

Just wondered what they were looking like elsewhere....

It's $2.19 in northern NH.

$2.41 here in SoCal.

2.30 to 2.40 in SW Wa

Have those prices increased recently, or are they the norm?

Decreased.

Still dropping, though very slowly.
We've been lagging behind the national average. But then, when gas prices spiked, we were behind then too.





Edit to add....


I don't look for prices to go back up till after the 7th, and here's why......



Not long ago, week or two, OPEC met and decided to cut production in an attempt to "stabilize prices".
This didn't happen. Koinkidink or not oil traders did not respond and the price of a barrel remained low, if in fact they didn't drop further. When in the history of OPEC have they ever cut production and gas prices did not go up? I would expect that as if by magic, on or very soon after Nov 7th the mood of these traders will change, and the price will again begin to rise, and once again people with limited income will freeze to death because they could not afford the energy to warm their lives, so that a very few could reap tremendous profits.
