The original hypothesis in this thread was whether "someone" with enough motives and means could have influenced the price of unleaded gas to (get ready for facts): go down for months before Nov 7, bottom out right around that date, and then rally straight back up during the following month.
Nobody is questioning that supply and demand ultimately define a price for a market. Hence, anybody who can control one or both variables in that equation, wil be able to affect the price itself. Econ 101.

Now, since elections in this country happen in November ................................!
