Re: Gas prices and you

Just a reminder-

The Hurricane in the gulf shut down a lot of oil production in the gulf of Mexico. That means that one of the few oil sources that we have control over just shut down.

That's the reason for the sudden huge increase in prices over the past few days. The people who are in charge of buying oil got really worried that supply would be disrupted, and started buying oil from places that wouldn't be affected. That drove the price of oil way up, and we see that at the pumps. Hopefully, prices will drop back down as the mess gets cleaned up. It won't drop much though.

The annoying thing is that the gas we a pumping today was probably distilled a while ago, when oil was a bit cheaper.

Curse this supply and demand thing.
