oil prices will freaking wig out, as well as N.O. I can truly see $4-5 per gal., if it moves into the GOM...

Yeah, the whole country is going to flip if she goes into the GOM. But as of right now, that's not occuring... Let's not get alarmed yet.

Not necessarily, if she moves into the gulf north of Tampa and is headed wnw she will not be a threat to most of the Oil rigs. Also, alot depends on her strength and her forecasted track and intensity.

Be careful, because maybe the gas prices will just increase because the ULL in the GOM! I think oil companies are taking the hurricanes in the GOM as a subject to justify thier crazy oil price increase every day.
