This is the dumbest thing I've ever seen. We used to have some of the cheapest gas in the nation, and now we are paying $4 a gallon, more than just about everyone else. Plus we have to drive around looking for a place to buy gas. The amazing thing is, gas stations around here started running out the DAY AFTER Hurricane Ike hit the Texas Gulf coast. So I guess the tanker trucks must load up in Galveston and drive straight to Atlanta?
It makes you realize how fragile our gasoline supply infrastructure is. We don't have enough refinery capacity to keep the supply going to a major portion of the US after a storm hits the Gulf region. I am all for finding alternative fuels but in the meantime, we need to drill and refine as much of our own oil as possible.
The whole situation is very inconvenient. But it's also a little scary.
