For those who aren't as glued to the TV as I am today here is a gas update. Atlanta is running out of gas, some stations are as high as 5.87 for regular and 6.07 for premium. Many gas stations are only allowing 2-3 gallons per customer. Fights are breaking out at gas stations.

Most of North Dakota and Montana's gas comes from the Rockey Mountain area. The reason why gas is going up nation wide is now that the oil rigs and ports are down along the gulf coast instead of the rockey mountain area sending gas only to the midwest it is also having to send it to the areas that used to get their gas from the area that was hit by the storm. Other areas in the nation are the same, gas that used to be drilled near Alaska and only fuelled alaska are being shipped to the southern states, etc...

But I dont think they should be running out yet around here...it has only been a day of the crisis. What happened to all the oil that we import from other countries? We still have oil coming in and refinaries working. We are talking only 10% drop in production. With the prices this high, demand should go down and supply should go up. Therefore they should not run out in my opinion.

Was stated that 1/3 of the nations oil came through the area that was hit by the hurricane, either through the ports from import or through the rigs in the gulf.
Demand won't likely go down far... gas companies have us by the balls...it's something we [nearly] HAVE to have to get by from day to day....
