Gas and BS
Sep. 12th, 2008 03:37 pmGas at the corner station jumped 25 cents since I drove by last night, and there is already a line. Other nearby stations are up 40 cents.
I remember this same BS during Katrina. Boortz and others spooked everyone with their BS, folks bought like mad, and prices jumped. I had just bought the hybrid so did not need to gas up during the panic, and by the time I did need to buy, prices had dropped back down. Of course, there was never the threatened supply disruption other than that brought on by panicked buyers and hoarding. Sadly, this time I had to buy for weekend plans.
