Don't worry.
The panic is exactly what is causing the price gougers to have power.
Some folks are encouraging the Doom & Gloom because they profit from it.
Kinda like Democrats.
Heh. Indeed.
...and then there's the folks that day trade in the futures markets, and went way too long on gas futures a while back... and see this as a way to get some of their losses back.
If I were smart, I'd wait a couple of days for the panic to peak out, and then go short on october gasoline futures.
