(tinfoil hat on) The other possibility is that the refinery's did get messed up, but the goverment is keeping a lid on it to keep the gas prices down. (tinfoil hat off)

On most of the news channels yesterday (Sunday) they were reporting little to no significant damage.
Meanwhile, gas prices jumped $.20 before the storm even hit land. |

All of the refineries shut down prior to the anticipated hit by Rita.
It takes a while to get all of those distillation units and various other processes started again. Some of those individual units can take up to a day or so just to get back up to temperature and then all of those units have to get back on line in the right order. One of the B.P. explosions happenned during a restart period. From what I understand, this is one of the most dangerous times in a chemical plant. |

Well, I'm glad the media is saying that the hurricane did little to our refining capacity. Maybe the greedy motherfuckers who jack up the prices on a whim will hestitate this time before going crazy. I guess the media are good for something once in awhile....

This morning, gas prices in my area were about 2.699. That's about 10 cents higher then before the storm hit.

Oh, don't you know. That's not gouging, that's the free market and they are entitled to do it.
