The problem is refined supplies in the market. Local supplies became tight during Gustav, because the pipelines in the SE had little flowing through them. With little time to recover, Ike comes in. Could be the same thing, where there is no damage, but local supplies just aren’t there.

Good question, I can’t understand that either. I live outside of a small town near Sumter, SC. I was watching the local WIS-TV news and they had video footage of a gas station in Sumter that had already raised it’s price to $5.30 a gallon, up almost $2. I hope that person is arrested and charged with price gauging, but I doubt it. My husband just took my car into town to get gas (I was going to get it tomorrow because it needs it but he was kind enough not to want me to wait). It’ll be interesting to see how this pans out.
