I would really like to thank the media (CNN, FoxNews, etc) for helping to jack the price of gas up. It is bad enough with the actually storm related disasters driving the price up, but then we get all these stories flying around freaking people out. I can't decide if "the boy who cried wolf" or "Chicken Little" would be the best analogy to use. Sure, the storms made gas more expensive, but it wouldn't have risen quite as much without the media's doom-and-gloom urging people to run out and fill up now. Especially with Katrina, a lot of the shortages away from the areas hit were caused by people flocking to the pumps with anything that would hold gas.
Oh well, I'll rant about the gas industry another time.
