Anyone seen the price of fuel going up because of the hurricane? Last week most places here were $3.389-$3.459. Filled up In Rustburg Va. a little while ago for $3.329. Earth quake and hurricane in the same week and the price of gas came down.

Ours (KY) went down to that for a couple days then went back up to 3.59.
I guess we had the aftershock.

Ours was down to $3.34 then the yesterday morning it was $3.44 then yesterday evening it was $3.55 here in East Texas........When these prices go up for some hyped-up reason, they don't come back down when the event is passed........?? No reason for events on the East Coast to effect our production or supplies here. Purely market manipulation.

Not yet. I don't think that the storm was strong enough to disrupt oil flow as there are no oil rigs on the east coast to my knowledge. That happens mostly in the Gulf. Of course, I'm sure that the officials are losing sleep trying to figure some way to justify raising prices,

Head on up to Michigan to escape the hurricane and you'll be paying 3.79.

Just paid $3.66 a gallon an hour ago here in northern central PA. Of course the Williams Oil cartel doesn't make any excuses for raising prices. They just do it.

Just filled my gas cans for $3.329 in Northern Lancaster co, Pa. They were having trouble with the pumps and card readers in the pumps. The DISH doesn't like the thick clouds we have today. Same thing happens in snow storms. Surely makes things stack up at the counter when the electronics at the pumps aren't working. Hope I won't need my generator but I'm ready if the power goes off.

Remember when at School it was a rare occasion when an answer was extended to 3 decimal places,now it seems to be commonplace in business, greed one would suspect. Some times I have seen it extended to 4.
How many decimal places in the Workers hourly rate.?

In central Minnesota gas prices always rise a dime or more at the major summer travel holidays: Memorial Day, Fourth of July and Labor Day. They went up a six cents today to $3.659.

It is the refineries that were shut down for potential dammage before a major problen came from then trying to operate and then getting hit and damaged. Not the wells.

Speculators are worried about Libya production coming back on line and pushing prices down so they are backing off.

A dime before holidays? Come to NW Indiana where we have weekly 10 - 50 cent spikes. We have Speedway and Family Express to thank for this.
