I talked to a few people down there, Florida, and some of the other Eastern Provinces, they said that there were gas stations without any gas. Obviously those stations would raise their prices like crazy to try and keep people from buying so it would last longer.
If you didn't have the threat of Ike on the horizon you wouldn't have had a run on gasoline or a shortage for that matter.

ES was correct to what they did as they knew that a run on gasoline by Texans would create a shortage where many stations would run dry.
