I'm wondering if anyone is aware of a study looking at potential correlations between gas prices at the pump and voting preferences? As a Canadian I'd prefer an analysis from this country, but I suspect the data is more readily available in the US...

I think you should subtract the taxes out of the price of a gasoline, however. These taxes are an essentially constant offset that should only really make a difference when gas is cheap. I wrote a somewhat similar article a while back that talks about gas taxes. Please check it out and let me know what you think: http://www.peterdolph.com/2009/07/are-oil-companies-screwing-us-over.html Nice work!

Could you elaborate a bit more on why this is a big mistake? The historical evidence suggests it's a pretty good predictor even at $140 oil. In lieu of other readily available models for consumers, figured this was better than trying to extrapolate a linear equation since that breaks down. I appreciate the comment.

You can't use a 2nd order polynomial to calulate future gas prices out of the oil price. In my humble opgignion this article makes a big mistake.
