Wow. Someone needs to take an introductory economics class, methinks.

Are you kidding?! I fill up about every 2 days - I talk to alot of gas attendants, and you know why most of them are saying their owners are raising prices? - "Because everyone else is charging that much".

Like I said - artificial demand, and store owners taking advantage of the public panic and unrest. If stores HERE, ON THE GULF COAST can charge pre-Katrina gas prices, why can't the rest?

Like I said, someone needs to take an introductory economics class. Point stands.

I've taken a few econimcs courses, and I argue that gas prices ARE inflated after Katrina. We have plenty of oil, and prices dropped or remained idle during Katrina. The only areas that should've been affected by the price hike was the SouthEast because of the damage to refineries.
