I don't buy any of that. There is no "they" imo. But I'm not a conspiracy theorist, so there's that.I agree. Gas prices, far more than "milk", seems to be something "they"( all government) are willing to tweak to make the situation what it needs to be. If things are good and we can sell 5 dollar gas and be buyers elsewhere, they will do that to us.
In a tight election year we will see a drop in October. Milk won't move.
My point is people who constantly bitch about gas prices are usually dumb. It's a quick telling point for me and is pretty accurate.
