Ike may cause a spike

As Ike threatens the Gulf Coast, in a panic Americans believe their gas supply is threatened.

This combination sent many in frenzy to their local gas stations to stock up, for anticipated price jumps.

Last night, around 11 p.m. my roommate warns of long lines at the pump, the Tennessean, reported several other incidents around the Middle Tennessee area of similar sightings.

Some local stations were asking patrons to limit their fueling purchase to 10 gallons.

The public is extremely concerned with a possible fuel price spike, as they should be. Although, I do agree that a panic before Hurricane Ike hits may contribute to the problem.

Depending on what Ike does, there will most definetly be a spike in fuel prices, but I don’t believe that their will be a shortage of fuel, especially if drivers keep their cool.
