Apparently, the refinery that this area of the country gets its gas from is directly in line to be wrecked by Ike. Since last night, gas prices have risen from around $3.30 to $4.49 with further rises being reported for the near future. And, oh, also, most of the gas stations are completely out of gas.

My question is, why is nobody in the news talking about this? I suppose that's a bit selfish, the hurricane should be the main focus of course, but Fox News could've taken a few seconds out of their 30 minutes of talking about the doctoring of Palin's ABC interview to at least mention it.

My aunt's down from NJ, and she talked to some people up there who said prices haven't changed a bit. Is this affecting anyone else? Mr. P, I know you've got to be seeing it. Jackass, what about you?
