It certainly won't help.

I prefer to watch the boneheads driving trucks around town fill the gas-guzzling behemoths up. Hope that Excursion was worth it, lady.

A novel concept that our airline braintrust leadership should take note. Fuel prices go up. Ticket prices go up...... I forgot NWA and DAL and the rest had the brilliant idea of bleeding others out of the industry.

I prefer boneheads flying around in their CRJ 200 gas guzzlers. Hope that job is worth it.

'Cause it's soooo much more economical to fly 30-50 people around in a 737.

Gas won't hit $5 a gallon, it will peak at $3.50 or less.

Bloomberg :

Gasoline Falls as Hurricane Rita Weakens, Shifts Eastwards Sept. 23 (Bloomberg) -- Gasoline fell in New York after Hurricane Rita weakened on its path toward Texas and shifted track away from the heart of the refining industry. Crude oil futures were little changed.

Rita's winds dropped to 145 mph from as high as 175 mph earlier, the National Hurricane Center said. The storm may make landfall between the northern coast of Texas and the west coast of Louisiana. Gasoline rose 4.2 percent yesterday as about 20 percent of U.S. refining capacity was shut in Texas.

``The track has been moving to the east, away from the really big refineries in the Houston area,'' said Kyle Cooper, an analyst with Citigroup Inc. in Houston. ``The storm is still serious.''

Gasoline for October delivery fell as much as 3.94 cents, or 1.8 percent, to $2.10 a gallon in after-hours electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange at 8:32 a.m. Sydney time.
