It wouldn't take a war to raise prices, just talk of it already has.

Here in North Central Florida just the idea of Irma being anywhere near the peninsula has driven gas prices from $2.15 last week to $2.69 yesterday, and I'm sure will go even higher.

Gas prices up, obviously. Yet crude prices are pretty flat.

I’m in central Florida too, fwiw.

It’s gone up 41 cents in the Texas Hill Country in a week. Today, $2.39. In Austin, they’re complaining about driving all over looking for a station with gas. They’re raising the price because they can, not because there’s a shortage. The Exxon refinery in Houston that had to shut down was up and running two days later.
