The gas prices were droping, and now are higher than ever.. And as we all know after the elections the prices are going to go up anyways, but we werent expecting the storms to increase the prices......
Pump prices jumped above $5 per gallon in some parts of the country Sunday as Hurricane Ike left refinries and pipelines idled and destroyed at least 10 offshore platforms in the Gulf of Mexico.
Far beyond ares struck directly by high winds and flooding, Ike left behind it a bizarre pattern of prices at gas pumps, with disparities of more than $1 a gallon in some states, and even on some blocks.
Average prices exceeded $4 per gallon in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, South Carolina, Hawaii, and Alaska, according to aut club AAA, the Oil Price Information Service and Wright Express.
Whatever pain is being felt at u.s. gas pumps will likely be a vary brief phenomenon, analysts say.
