*shakes fist at downtown oil companies*

Actually most oil and gas companies downtown have nothing to do with the price of Gasoline.
Gas prices are supply demand related just as most other products are. The only thing is that it looks like they tend to guess when supplies are going to be low (long weekend, etc), but over the last few long weekends the price really hasn't gone up much.
There will be an impact on supply becuase of the hurricane, and it looks like they are predicting this (obviously it wouldn't actually cause the price to spike when you already had the gasoline in the ground). This is definitly a touchy subject.
I actually think that in the long run having higher gas prices will benefit everyone, because it is going to cause people/companies to be more efficent, and hopefully some sort of alternative energy sources will become available.
Hopefully some of that makes sense. [/b][/quote]
Hey, who do you think you are depriving me of a scapegoat?
