Oil, Vey
If you live in Chattanooga, there’s a good chance your gas prices have jumped by 20 cents in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. The storm has shut down oil platforms and pipelines along the Gulf coast this week, sending barrel-value up to $70 in today's trading. The hike hit Chattanooga this same day; prices at Murphy’s USA – next to the Brainerd Road Wal-Mart – are among the highest in the state, leaping from $2.42 a gallon to a pants-soiling $2.67. There's even a report of gallons going for (gulp) $2.99 in East Ridge.
However, if you live in coastal Louisiana or Mississippi, there’s a good chance that you are dead. So let’s keep it in perspective.
