East Coast faces gas shortages, price hikes after pipeline leak (CNN.com)

That pipeline passes about 20-30 miles from here.

This morning I stopped at my usual gas station, one of the cheapest around here. There were more people there than usual, and a couple of the pumps had gone empty. While I was filling up at $1.75 / gallon, the manager came out and changed the big sign in front of the station to read $1.85. I did get the $1.75, having already swiped my credit card.

Wonder if the North Dakota tribes are taking note.

An increase of 5 to 10 cents per gallon, the odd station here and there with dry tanks, for a breakage that's likely to be fixed in a couple weeks if not days, and ...

The governors of Alabama and Georgia have already declared states of emergency.

Well, any excuse to turn on those Federal FEMA dollars.

My daughter lives in GA right now and the prices have gone up.
