Fill Your Tanks

Gas is cheap... for now.
But as I'm typing this, many in the Gulf petroleum industry are in day-to-day talks regarding a strike.
And you know unions, one has to back the other.
In this case, it's mainly a United Steel Worker's beef.
But other unions will probably support any strike called by the USW.
If a hurricane can cause prices to rise - what will a strike in an area that produces 20% of the country's fuel do?

Just a quick heads-up.
Keep your gas tanks full.

  1. Definitely going to fill up tomorrow. I knew something was going to come up to raise the prices. Now that demand is through the floor the only thing that can bring them up is war or a strike. I guess I'm happier with the strike.
