Its not going to be the price thats the problem I believe.

Gasoline is not going be available. We most likely will see distributors go into an automatic rationing of supply.

Something like this. The historic order for gasoline of a station will get a proportionate amount of the distributors available gas and diesel.

So the busy stations will get larger amounts.

Say the station orders 10,000 gallons a week. And the distributors supplies go down 50%. Then the station will receive 50% of their normal order or 5,000 gallons.

The feds could institute this automatic rationing without telling us about it. In fact I think we are already under this imposed rolling shortage for the last month or so. I have seen local supplies of gas be sporadic.

Doing it this way we have no notice of it on local news. Supplies could be decreased as the cost increases insuring the profitability of the oil industry in shrinking supply markets. And the public will be none the wiser. No waves made. No loss of productivity of the working force.

I believe the big boys have already factored events such as the hurricane and have all plans in place to initiate this scenario. Always designed to guarantee profitability.

No matter what it costs. Isn't that what corporations are supposed to do? Guarantee profit. No matter what the cost in human life is?

We must strip the mask off of our corporations and expose their greed with truth. And rethink our priorities, business ethics and political systems.

The train has run off the tracks.
