gas prices shooting up 15 cents

Anyone hear this? on the news they said since Katrina hit, the gulf is producing 93% less oil so they think that gas will go up about 15 cents.

Hahaha what a joke. They (media, oil companies, etc) act like the gulf coast is the ONLY place we get oil from.

I wish the president would step in and do something...oh wait didnt him and his family make all their money off oil? Fat chance of that happening i guess....

Charge kids a dollar lol; They make plenty of money on % taxes from the gas to cover that kid of junk. Oil is not going to hit $100. People will freak out if it comes anywhere near $90 and there will be a large drop in demand.

No but it is where we get the majority of our domestic oil.

No this morning it was up to a little over $68 a barrel. I think that someone had heard that it _could_ go up to $100 before it was over with. Heard yesterday for every $ a barrel increase you can expect 10 cents increase at the pump.

That area accounts for nearly 25% of the production of US oil and gas. With refineries at near maximum operating capacities, this is extremely devasting.
