    I don't know if I heard this right on the news, but the number I heard was approximately 40% of the refinery capacity for the entire U.S., at least for gasoline, is located in or near NOLA. This will affect the entire country, economically! I just hope everyone who needs to has been able to evacuate!

    Ph, I heard similar things too.

    The real problem will be if/when the refineries and crude sources are shut down a few weeks from the damage. Talk about gas lines and winter heating costs!
    I loved going to strip clubs; I actually made some friends there. Now things are different for the clubs and for me. As a result I am not as happy.

    Customers are not entitled to grope, disrespect, or rob strippers. This is their job, not their hobby, and they all need income. Clubs are not just some erotic show for guys to view while drinking.

    Gas prices are going to be all over the place for a few weeks. This is normal until the panic gets shaken out. Watch your prices, keep records everytime you're out and about. compare with friends in your area. And don't get gouged any more than you can avoid.

    If you see a gas station that is obviously price gouging you can report it here:

    When we were out today in NYC at one station within 30 minutes they raised it .10 We saw one station that was at $2.99 and others ranging up to $3.89 in NYC.

    Filled my tank this morning: $3.20 on the north side of Chicago for the cheap grade. Yikes.

    Some folks know but, I might be sent to said fuel sources in NoLa to guard them against rioters. I'm a security officer for the govt and their shipping a lot of us that way. I pray I wont get shot at... much.


    Gas is at $3 even where I am now, BTW.

    TIME TO CARPOOL
    ..........and buy hybrids.

    Do you get that email that says you shouldn't buy gas for one day? HOAX....don't waste your time. Our only option is to accept the prices and modify our behavior.

    Gas prices aren't just being affected in the States.

    When I drove to work Thursday morning, the Shell stations by my house were at 90.9p per litre ($7.43 per gallon) for unleaded. At 5:30pm when I drove by on my way home, the prices had gone up three pence per litre to 93.9 per litre. But the other issue is the exchange rate...it had gone from $1.80/pound sterling to $1.83/pound sterling, so with all the conversions, the price had risen to $7.80 per gallon. So that's a 27 cent increase in eight hours.

    I agree with Mojo...in the short term it's time to re-examine our habits.
