Repub, I was amazed at the gas line stories after the storm, which always were accompanied with stories of "gouging". I was thinking to myself let the price double....people who are only topping off will go home, retailers will find generators, and wholesalers will FIND a way to get their product to market. When the crisis ends the price will go back down. It's ironic that the price of gas dipped so far here in the South, presumably from the glut caused by the inability for the victims to get gas, at least in part.
