Are we in for yet higher gas prices because of Gustav? ?

Question

Those were the excuses big oil companies gave us when Hurricanes Rita and Katrina happened.

Answer 1

certainly in the short term

i hope they soon start to go down again

Answer 2

they weren't excuses, the hurricanes damaged the oil refineries located in the Gulf of Mexico, so the price of gas went up (i hate it as much as the next person). but if the refineries are damaged like they were 3 years ago then gas will be more expensive. GO GREEN! its good for the environment and your wallet!

Answer 3

We are in for higher gas prices no matter what happens..  

Answer 4

the gas companies will jump on any reason to rape the american public..............

Answer 5

Oh, yes, my local station has gone up by at least 5 cents in the last day.

sigh

there will always be an excuse as long as the government is run by oil executives.

T Boone Pickins for President!!

Answer 6
