gallon gas labor rule
I think gas at $3 a gallon and up is going to be the rule here, as we get into the Labor Day weekend.
beyond continue gas labor prices rising
We'll probably continue to see rising gas prices just beyond the Labor Day holiday.
along gulf happened hit huge industry labor past petroleum taking territory twin uncharted
We went through uncharted territory this past year, with twin hurricanes taking out a huge part of our petroleum industry along the Gulf Coast. That has never happened before, and it's never hit with a Labor Day holiday.

I think we bounced back rather remarkably. I think we're going to be even luckier this time around.

We were fully anticipating some price increases beginning this weekend. It appears that maybe the storm damage isn't going to be quite as bad as we thought. That would be excellent news for motorists.
busy demand dropping holiday season seeing somewhat taken travel
We were somewhat taken aback. Normally, what we see after a very busy holiday travel season is demand dropping off. Unfortunately, this year, we're seeing just the opposite.
hurricane last season sounds stop
It sounds crazy. But, if we stop and think about it, if we have a hurricane season like last year, who knows. It's a possibility.
legitimate purpose
It's not a censure. It's enforcement for a legitimate purpose.
add expected far hit hurricane looks normal running time
We expected it to happen, but it looks like we are running out of time for that. Are we going to hit $3? We are not that far from it under normal circumstances, are we? If you add a hurricane to that, I wouldn't be surprised.

We're going into the weekend expecting to see price increases, no doubt about it, should the forecast with Rita pan out. There's no way to predict how much gas prices will be up for Rita.
chances fairly good prices remains remember volatile
You have to remember it's a very volatile market. But, if everything else remains stable, chances are fairly good that prices will be calming.
certainly expected happening increase prices somewhat
It's all happening at the same time, and we certainly expected prices to increase somewhat but not to this extent.
above gas good looks none prices retail stay
There's a lot going on, and none of it really looks good for gas at the retail level. For the foreseeable future, I think prices are going to stay above average.
factors hitting
It's a combination of factors hitting all at once.
