GAS SHORTAGE POSIBILE ????

[danny]

WAS NOTIFIED AND VERIFIED IT AND THERE IS A BREAK IN SOME GAS PIPE LINE.

ANYONE HAVE ANY INFO TO SHARE.  ANYWAY I JUST FILLED UP....  DANNY  :+}

With the current gas surplus, I suspect it's a ploy to raise prices.

Out here on the west coast, if one refinery goes down for maintenance, all the different brands will raise prices just because.

Thanks Dan for your thoughts.  Sounds like this would be possible.  Danny  :+}

One of Jerry's jokes... only,  not as good..........

It was reported there was a pipe line break in Alabama and will take several days to fix which is causing a shortage which of course means there is not the supply for the demand. Which I guess means the demand is the same but there is not as much gas to supply that demand so will have to increase the cost at the pump so the company does not have a loss and will make up for the loss they  have from a pipe line that needed maintance. Just my opinion not sure why everytime there is a shortage it cost more at the pump. but the price has started increasing up the east cost from south to north all the way to  NY

I live in a city of 15,000+ people.  When one station changes their price, by some strange miracle, they are all alike within an hour or two.  Certainly glad that isn't Price Fixing.

Wife came in and reported every gas station in town was out of gas, except one, which was limiting remaining full per customer.  Officials report there is no gas shortage, but that hoarding is causing the issues.  During the winter, after the first snowflake, the bread and milk disappears from the shelves.  This is even more annoying.

It is reported that there is a break in a major pipeline, they claim this may cause the price of gas to rise in the east. It has already gone up .05 cents per liter around here, they put the price up on thursday.

As the bird flies, we are over 600 miles from Alabama but, the day after this pipe break was on the

news, the Sohio gas prices jumped 37 cents. Two days later the prices came down about 12 cents.

As Jerry said, I sure am glad they aren't price fixing or price gouging.

Oh well, I saw a chart once that compared gasoline prices to what the price would be if we

filled up with mouth wash (or other liquids) and gas was still cheaper. LOL
