[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 194135, member: 1963"] I did a bit of snooping and found out why gas prices in the South and SE have skyrocketed while the rest of the nation seems comparatively unaffected. Turns out that many of the Southern states are on the terminii of gasoline pipelines running directly from the Houston seaport refineries. Those refineries were shut down in anticipatio of Ike. Up here in the North, our oil comes from Canada and from the "northern" end of the Gulf. Much of our gasoline is refined from oil processed in the Great Lakes area around Chicago and IN. [/QUOTE]
