Some customer i had last night told me it was ridiculous that they drove the prices this high because the oil they was slowed by the hurricane wont be getting here for another couple months, so the prices should be going up then and we should be paying however much it cost back when the current gas was bought, which kind of makes sense but i have no idea how this stuff works.
Well, think about it this way. The gas stations already had gas, long before the hurricane. Yet the day the hurricane hits, gas prices jump. So basically, what I get from this, is that gas can instantly teleport itself across the country.
To be serious here, I believe the whole process is much more than months, more like a couple years.
