$5!!!
Quick!
EVERYBODY FILL UP NOW!!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGG!!!!!!!!
This is, and let me choose my words very carefully, stupid.
could you elaborate?
Good thing I gassed up at lunch today. Pay day + Empty tank = Full tank.
No, not really.
c.B.S.
Oil and gas futures would have risen $50 a barrel today if the market was anticipating that big of a move due to the storm.

Is this a local market prediction based on localized shortages ahead of the weather? If so, probably should put a parenthetical statement in the headline that this is local news, so some people don’t panic and buy up all the gas tonight, causing shortages.
(now, just you all sit back and relax, I’ve got to go fill up my car.....)

Holy Crap, it still has it as a hurricane just south of DFW.
Gas has to go up to $10/gallon before I’m worried (only in the sense of ‘worried about being able to pay for the fuel I need to get around”).
I ride a motorcycle.
The price is not based on oil, but on refinery shutdowns due to hurricane Ike. US gasoline futures hit a record, above $3.40 a gallon.
Every hurricane that passes further illustrates
our current national vulnerability to a steady
and continuous delivery of petroleum resources.
Drill here drill now.
It’s a local news story, however it could have wider implications, since Houston refines such a large percentage of the country’s gas.
I agree, but it wouldn’t help in this case, as it’s about a refinery chokepoint.
$5 a gallon means you might be able to get some when you need it.
Yeah, but refine here refine now
just doesn’t have that same ring to it.
