Obscene, isn’t it? Just another gift from the oil industry. They love it when hurricanes and storms give them an “excuse” to close down refineries....

Maybe you haven’t heard about this hurricane thing. But it has idled 20% of US refinery production. That means there is less gasoline available for about the same demand as a week ago. That means prices have to go up so that people can actually buy it if they need it, unless the government gets involved. Then there will be shortages. On Fox and Friends, I believe, they said that Tennessee was about out of gas.

It’s call “supply and demand”. Look it up.

Expect refinery pressures from the hurricane to drive retail prices up short-term.

The Ike spike. It’ll go down again when they’ve got the Gulf oil production back in the pipeline.
