[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 2059523, member: 5412"] I agree, they are taking advantage of the hysteria. Sure its about economics, but gimme a break. It becomes an issue of gouging like the oil companies did awhile back. Screaming shortages, and jacking up the prices, as they couldn't get it from the suppliers. I drive by the 10th largest refinery in the US every day and look at the gasoline storage tanks. They have floating tops that ensure that vapors won't ingnite. Every day I drove by, the tanks were full. These tanks are hold a million gallons or so. So, I can call BS on the shortage. Eventually, congress held hearings, the oil companies admitted it was BS, and life went on. Nobody went to jail......nothing. Gulf Oil refinery in Kansas city, shut down all of their retail gas stations, as they said it was not profitable. A KC news crew followed a tanker around until it dumped its load into an abandoned gas stations tank. they had excess fuel, and no where to put it. There were huge ships parked all over the Carib with full loads of crude waiting to be processed, but not allowed to unload. This was in the 70's. Y'all look it up on google, and tell me that businesses won't take advantage of people. The businesses bottom line in mags or oil is the same. They made a profit before this frenzy. Enough to stay in business, and pay their employees. All others that do business with them can do the same. Ya, ya, its what the market will handle. I guess there are stupid people out there.
