#6 My tank was alomost empty so I stopped to fill up as usual. Lines of cars and people filling every gas can they can get their hands on. Bugwits. It's up to 3.80 here (East Tennessee).

#11 We were up $0.13, 3.29 to 3.42. This could last a long time, also. 30% of US gasoline comes from Houston. Not only does banking and restarting refineries cause lots of problems, the silting of the Houston ship channel may take quite a while. This could be ugly.
