Gas Shortages

We are having gas shortages here, though you won't see it on the local news. I had heard about them but had not encountered them until I went to get gas for the first time since Hurrican Gustav. When you live in the south, you fill up before a hurricane and I had done so. Yesterday I discovered that most gas stations have several empty pumps and they are limiting you to ten gallons each.

Yet oil is going down. Can anyone say 'election season'?
