Did I miss something this morning?
When I left for class at 730 the gas station were at there usual prices 2.37-2.41. However as I left class I noticed that the same gas stations had raised there prices by 10-15 cents some even 20 cents.
What exactly do I miss in gas while in class? (I didnt mean for that to rhyme)

The anticipation of what Hurricane Rita will do to the gas supplies.

The price went up approx 25 cents per gallon here in Savannah since yesterday

Thankfulling I was in need of a fill up and found a 2.37 Citgo. cant wait to see what next summers anticpated high prices are. I remember freaking out when they said 2.50 back in May and no look where we are.

Rita took a little more northwardly turn and is headed almost straight at Houston rather than Corpus Christi. 74% of US Oil refineries have shut down in anticipation of the storm (that includes what was knocked out of commission by Katrina).

I filled up at BJs an hour ago at $2.53gal. Most stations were at $2.59 at the time. There only going to go higher and in a rueters news release, they anticipate a gas shortage over the next several days.
