It's a run on the pumps!

Fill 'er up boys.

Hurricane Ike sure has scared a lot of folks at these parts. At the gas station 1 mile from my apartment, the price was dropped today by six cents. Apparently word got out that Hurricane Ike was going to "shutter" oil production for a while and the floodgates opened. We just sat in a gas line (I was just above 1/4 a tank and legit needed fuel) and when we got to the pumps found that gas was now limited to 10 gallons per car. Wholesale gas jumped $1.25 today and, evidently, that means the folks who man the stations have free reign to jack things up as they see fit.
