I concur.  I paid $2.02 for regular a couple of weeks ago.  On our
vacation, Saturday before the election, I paid $2.14 in Cleveland, GA.
On Tuesday, election day, I noted that gas was $2.17 at the same
station.  Ron filled up his truck yesterday and paid $2.12 at the BP in
town.  Prices in Calhoun are a bit cheaper than prices in Cleveland, and
have been both before and after the election.  IMO, gas prices have been
fluctuating for about a month, slowly rising all the time, and I
personally think that trend will continue during the holiday season
through the first of the year.  I don't think it has anything at all to
do with the election, I think it is just greedy oil execs trying to make
more billions.
We don't have ethanol gas here, sadly.
