Just saw a bit on CNN...wait for a couple weeks and it is going to go REAL HIGH...the problem they say NOW...is Delivery, not stock or refining......they say the delivery pipelines are now at peak output. You are LUCKY it's only 2.70 there...it's 3.70 here now and we have got all the oil we need,but NNNOOOO, they just keep upping it for 1 reason or another it seems...price gouging at it's finest. Have a good day.

I'm scared to even think about it. I dont even want to think about what the first reported cane will do to gas prices.

I was in galveston past weekend and a hardware store was already advertising for plywood and plyloxs.
