when gas went above $4, we just started so actually see the supply/demand curve at work. There is nothing wrong with that, I wish the gov would keep their fingers off our gas and our sugar industries. Poeple would drive less or pay more… one or other.

Already seen a lot of people citing “Who Killed The Electric Car” as fact; first sign it’s certain to be a bubble. I’m still waiting for the usual KTK ’socialism in our time’ crap over at leanleft, so at least it’s a little better than normal.

It has no effect on California with our special short-bus gas formulation, and our short-bus senate and congressional representation… $4.01 down the street at Chevron. I couldn’t care less, it’s for a truck not a skateboard – I don’t need the extra pennies to buy gum and twizzlers.

Just saw a gas station today (while test-driving a Mustang Bullitt, ironically enough) with its prices boarded over – I can only assume they were out of gas.

Short-term, this could be a problem. Long-term, Ike will be gone in a week, and gas will start flowing again.

This is nothing more than blatant greed on the gas mongers part. They all have infinite wells of fuel beneath their quickie marts and it is inconceivable that a storm might disrupt their supplies for a while. Raising gas prices on a limited amount of product won’t actually cause people to not buy if it they don’t need it or remind people they might not need as much as they thing, it’s just so they Bush Junta can continue to sell overpriced slurpees to fatten our nations children!!!

NO FLOOD FOR OIL!!!!

unfortunately for me, my jeep is sitting in the nashville airport long term parking with less than 1/8 of a tank. I don’t think I have enough to make it back home without getting gas. Nashville talk radio (God bles al gore’s internets) is saying gas went up 50 cents overnight. I’ve been in St Louis all wek and gas here went up 30 cents yesterday.
