Gas to be over $3/gal next few days

[rvsm410]

With 28% of the countries oil production shut down with Katrina ...the local gas stations here are telling us the cost will jump from the current $2.53 to over $3.00 gallon by this wednesday....

I was told gas in Cali went to $3.96 !!! tonight.....

This could cause a major resession in the country, what the heck are we going to do in this business.....do you see airlines just shutting down....

Man o man....

Fear not, rvsm, the price is going up this week because of... ta-da!!... Labor Day weekend. It'll be back down soon.

big freaking deal? let's just hope that all people in New Orleans will walk away from that b*tch.

...and they will, if they were smart enough to leave that b*tch.

Worrying about the aftermath of the hurricane, and how it will affect all of us in the coming months, is a perfectly valid concern, dear dutchman.

Well, that and how the evil oil companies are profiting from our misery.

Labor Day?! You...you're not actually insinuating that the oil companies set their prices higher to take advantage of higher travel? The thought! TC

 

[I.P. Freley]

What, I say, WHAT are you insinuating, sir!?

If prices go above average because of bad weather, how come they never go below average for good weather?

Hey, I hope for minimal losses...I was just making a comment on the overall effects that will probably last for some time to come... I got out of town 3 days before they hit my area, and over $15,000 out of pocket in expenses.....I know without any doubt what hurricanes are capable of...

I feel for those in NO that could not afford to get out...God Bless and protect them...

If prices go above average because of bad weather, how come they never go below average for good weather?

Or if they rise for increased times of travel, why don't they lower for decreased times of travel?

Those are the questions.
