So can anyone tell me why gas prices have jumped so high? The hurricane os over, as far as I knew it didn't destroy any gas refineries or oil rigs. Is it the whole panic stricken American investor that is driving the price of oil futures up, which is bringing the price of gas up??? Or is it really OPEC. For once I am NOT looking for politics thrown into the arguement, I think gas prices are outragous enough without throwing politics in the mess...
Oh and I am glad I got my bike with 40+mpg...
EDIT: I guess everyone doesnt know why they are so high... I want to know. I have heard all the news reports about it, but I don't believe what I hear all the time...
some pipe lines are shut down across the south becuase there is no power, but thats all I have heard that and there has been basically no production out of the gulf for the last 3-4 days, and evacuating major cities requires lots of gas for cars getting out of there as well
