It's not even a shortage. Is there one gasoline service station that has run out of gasoline in the past month, aside from those that are so poorly managed they just forgot to call for a delivery?
Shortage only in the sense of a slight tip in the supply/demand balance necessitating higher prices to restore equilibrium, not in the sense of gas lines stretching 3 blocks down the street. But it probably wouldn’t take an awful lot to see the latter. If Reid and company get the idea to put in price controls, or windfall taxes etc. etc. - watch out? It will be like the good old ‘70s all over again. You’ll pay by $$ or you’ll pay by waiting in line. But pay you will!
