Gas Prices going high?

As we all know massive Hurricane Ike ravaged southeast Texas early Saturday, battering the coast with driving rain and ferocious wind gusts as residents who decided too late they should have heeded orders to evacuate made futile calls for rescue. Now that Ike is doing it's job, Texas is not the only one that can feel it, all American who drives their car will be feeling it too because gas prices rose for the fourth straight day as Hurricane Ike slammed the Texas Gulf Coast early Saturday morning. The national price increase was driven by sharp spikes in the Southeast, primarily the Carolinas, Tennessee and Kentucky, states which lie at the end of several Gulf pipelines. Generally, increases in other regions were fairly slight.(from cnn.com).
