Country: | YUP! - Eric was also correct about the media helicopters. They are all getting fuel somewhere. If I was FEMA (With the help of the National Guard) I would confincate each one as they land and use them for evcuation. The media could film when everone is rescued....

Country: | Agreed, as soon as one takes fire, mark the area and unleash the gunships. That should stop that **** pretty darn quick.
I saw some gas stations on the news charging as much as $6.00 per gallon for gas! People that do that should lose their business. The stupid thing for me is that I have waited to fill my tank and now I'm going to give more of my hard earned money to another oilman.

Except for the Canadian Red Cross, I haven't heard of anything like that. I must say than in most fascist Québeker minds, USA is rich enough to help their own peoples.
By the way, Evan, it's the same thing here. Today, Québec City gas stations was selling their gas at 1.35$ (CAN) the Litre. (There is approximately 4 Litres in an American Gallon.) And 90% of our gas come from Alberta ! | |

I don't have the exact figures right now, but...it's a lot.
Gas prices hit $1.37/L at the pump here today. | |

Country:  | When you Americans are paying the same as Britain, then you can complain about fuel prices. Our prices are from £0.80-1.10 per litre!

Country: | who gives a crap ........... really, the price of gas has been jumping dramatically and this is why these items were stated. right now the whole of America is affected by what has happened in the gulf but yet we shouldn't be so surprised as great losses of life have happened in the past due to climatic changes. Big boyz are making millions off the US consumer using this tragedy as an excuse to raise prices and conserve on the production of fuel.
