I don't mind so much that gasoline prices rise following a disaster that impacts production, but it's the potential for outages that concern me. I'm still not sure we won't see wider shortages or outages post-Harvey.

ReplyDeleteThat is what I am concerned about is the long term gas supply. The American economy moves on a sea of petroleum. If it is short term disruption, we will weather it fine, but if it is long term especially in the Atlanta area where the commute is long and traffic sucks, it will make it worse.
