Instead the gas will keep coming and the prices will keep rising. I guess I'm just jealous I'm not getting rich off this scam. If that much production has stopped we should have shortages.

They have all added shifts and overtime to increase capacity .I usually pull 4-5 loads a day, but now theres a longer wait to load because of all the trucks loading from closed refineries ,So I can only load 2-3 loads a day now.More drivers are working to cover the missing loads.All this costs a lot of extra money!!! So before you start complaining about a few cent increase in gas ,think about all the people working 14 hour days to make sure there is gas at the station when you go to fill up!!!!

This coming weekend is Labor Day weekend so the prices were going to go up anyway, now they can really stick it to the consumer. All of the consumers going to Texas to help out will have to pay these prices too when they should be getting gas for free! Thought about this overnight.

There is a fixed tax per gallon that one must pay. If you pay more for the gas, you are still paying the same for the tax. I am with those of you complaining about the prices going up, but we choose to live here knowing what they do. I can see a slight increase because there is a shortage - the law of supply and demand. But any dramatic increase is gouging and needs to be reported immediately. @Sue - move to Canada if you like socialism so much. I prefer the volatility here with hard work rewarded with good pay if you are smart and get into a good career field and are willing to work to earn what you get. @ Sulloa: How do we pay more taxes on our gas if the price goes up?

In this case, you seem to already have found Canada. Bye now. Sue, if you don’t like the way this country is run – pull up a map, find a country that suits your needs, and move there.

Canada may pay more for gas and other consumables but there prices are much less volatile and stable compared to our more capitalist economics.

I would bet they also have a hand in this. Just when the consumer gets a break ( like lower gasoline prices) here comes the county grabbing their hot share. Other companies do it too- insurance? Also, anyone notice our property taxes rising again? Don't see anything for it, either. The turn-offs from 29 to 95A are pot-holed and have been for years , the medians throughout the county are disgraceful as well as the right-of-way along the county roads. But the county commissioners are fairng pretty well... Don’t forget that the more we pay in gasoline, the more the county/ state gets in the “hidden” gasoline taxes.

I will never forget one dollar price change overnight after Ivan. It is not OK to stick it to the consumer, like the oil investors need another dime. Greed really sucks! This is so bogus.
