Holy Price Gouging, Batman!

It's gonna get bad.

Exactly. The price hikes are occuring not because of the limit in supply, but because of a fear that a limit will occur in the near future.

And in answer to Elf's comment about the owners of the gas pumps needing to eek out that last little penny to make sure that their families are fed, I say this: While their families are fed, we non-gas pump owners have paid two to three times more in gas than before, which means that that money doesn't go to feeding our families. Further, if the gas is limited, then we are stuck at home with no way to get to work and be paid, so we've lost that avenue of money too...but we have no way to increase our income quoto over the short term like they do to compensate so that our families will get fed too. So why is it fair that their families get fed and ours don't?
