Be prepared for the price at your pump to go up even more in the next few days. Tropical Storm (and soon to be Hurricane) Chris is on a nice course though the Carribean and into the Gulf of Mexico.
5-Day Forecast Track for TS Chris. (From the National Hurricane Center)
The problem if Chris heads on its current track is that it will start to affect the Gulf of Mexico drilling platforms. Remember how much gas spiked up last year when Katrina hit those platforms?
Hopefully the same will not happen again, but the way the oil industry is these days, it will be hard to imagine them restraining themselves.
Time to start saving up the quarters, dimes, nickels, and even pennies cause were going to need them.
