Bush: Don't Buy Gas If You Don't Need It

[Squirt]

The articles clearly talk about people hoarding gas, buying gas they don't need, and creating the shortage themselves when it didn't exist prior.

Simple as that. Look forward to your footnoted and referenced thesis on waiting for tanks to be empty before goin' to the gas station during a perceived crisis. Thanks for playing, though.

Sure Dorothy it's on it's way.. bend over:thumbsup:

telling people "Don't buy gas if you don't need it" is a guaranteed way to make SURE people will be afraid they can't buy gas later and make them stampede to get all they can in case they can't get any later.

Agreed. When prices go up, and you tell people it's because supply is low, they will hoard it. I don't think they'll come every time there tank is half full, and wait in line an hour to save a few cents, but they will come with jugs, etc. and fill up for later use... some will.

Others will keep a cool head about it.

One thing I find interesting from the reports I'm seeing here is that in America gas prices are ranging from $2.88 a gallon to $5.15 a gallon... why the big difference in price?
