If the idiots don't panic and line up to top off, then there's plenty of gas for everyone. When people panic, the stations jack the prices up because they know that folks will pay it.
Now here's the kicker: I know people that stood in line for 15+ minutes to fill up "before the prices go up" on Friday. OK, you might save 30-50 cents per gallon times maybe 10-15 gallons. That means you saved $3 and maybe 7.50. In the meantime, you wasted a gallon of gas sitting there idling. As a result, net savings is possibly $3.50 on the high end or you might have actually lost money (and time) on the low end! Brilliant.

Separate rant:
If all the environmental wackos out there want to save the planet and cleaner air then ban all drive-thrus except for drug store prescriptions or elderly and handicapped! That will save millions of gallons a year and some folks will actually have to get off their fat azz to get their super-sized McCardiac Meal, movie, or latte.

Rant over. I feel better now.

p.s. This is not aimed at you Mike, I'm just frustrated that you have to suffer for other people's selfish stupidity.
