Today has been strange.
I was driving to work today, and I don't know how many of you know this but I live in Charleston, and as I was leaving town I saw the BP right off Interstate 57 flashing a $3.78 gas price. I thought, blast! Here we go again! Up 20 cents, down 20 cents! Keep us guessing, gas demons!
And then I drove just a bit more down the road to the BP that is on 121 right on the edge of Mattoon, and there I saw it was $3.99! Then I was like...oh, hurricane! That's what's happening!!! They're using scare tactics! Stupid gas demons...
I got here to the paper and thought I would wait out this ridiculously high gas price, but then I read an article on MSNBC.com, "Storm expected to strike the heart of U.S. oil refining capacity," telling me that 97 percent of the oil refineries along the Gulf Coast have been shut down and evacuated, and we'll just see what sort of damaging impact is left when the dust - or water - settles.
This told me that it was time to get gas, this price is a steal!
In all seriousness, though, this is an incredibly small inconvenience for all of us, compared to what the evacuees are experiencing right now. Let's keep them in our prayers.
This telling me that I should get the gas while the price is right, because I believe 25 percent of the nation's oil refineries
