Heres a nice helping of BS early in the morning.

I pulled this off the weather channel's website
"President Bush commented on Hurricane Ike this morning. He said, "The storm has yet to pass and I know there are people concerned about their lives." He promised the government will monitor gas prices in the wake of Ike to make sure "consumers are not being gouged.""

Tell that to the gas stations around me. Thursday: $3.32 Today: $4.69

$4.69? That was one big storm. It blew South Carolina into California.

We've not seen $3.32 gas for a decade.

Haha. Rape.

Told today we couldn't buy more then $50 of gas because of Ike...W/E. The true reason is, if you're limited today..you'll have to buy sooner then later when they can raise the price again.

Remember, UNLEADED traded for under $2.80 a gallon Friday

BTW: MD's refined fuel comes from PA and NJ.....

Reports say that really, the biggest effects should only be in the SE and Southern US. I don't know where VA gets its petrol from (it could be multiple places, given its large size and geographic "borderline" location). I need to fill the X3 today, ready to watch the sticker shock.
