Hurricane Ike Causes Gas Prices to Rise By $.13

Gas prices jumped by about $13 cents over night in Canada.   According to the CBC website, a bunch of refineries in Texas have shut down becuse of hurricane Ike.  

Personally I think it's just an excuse.  Do you ever notice how gas prices always jump during the long weekends when everyone is going camping?  Yup, we're getting gouged folks!
