<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content">So I'll be the first to admit that I know NOTHING about oil production, but wasn't the gas that we put in our vehicles today refined weeks if not MONTHS ago?
And why is gas 6 bucks a gallon in Atlanta? Are the retailers blaming Katrina?
And if a barrel of crude is up from 55-60 to 70 that is about a what 20% increase? So how it is that fuel prices @ the pump go up MUCH MUCH more than that?
General economic trends are showing that things are pretty strong from what I've read in Forbes, and Business Week. That being said, I think the one potential derailing factor could be oil prices.....Since EVERYTHING is dependant upon fuel it would really cause some heartache. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
It is called getting raped at the pump all over including Atlanta.
