The Rockies and West have independent refineries and pipelines so Katrina isn’t the cause of shortages and or price gouging in Portola.[/quote] <br /> <br />The gas fill ups were in Reno, NV. Yes, I understand that here on the west coast our gasoline is confined to use in Nevada, Washington, Oregon, California, and Arizonia for the most part. But, in yesterdays Reno Gazzett Journal, the local fish wrapper, they stated that gas prices where being driven up by Katina and that some gas stocks were being moved to the southeast. It did not say how this west cost gas was moving, but I'd assume by ship. I see yesterday the commerce department suspend the rules for American Flaged ship only hauling between American ports. <br /> <br />BTW, didn't chase UP 3985, and although I didn't vote for GW Bush either time, I think at this time its purdent to consider the trips I make. <br /> <br />Jim - Lawton, NV MP 236
