RE: Oil prices fell below $97 a barrel on Monday after Hurricane Ike inflicted minimal damage!
I live up Rt. 331 and cross the bridge at least twice daily and I see so many fuel barges heading both directions on the Intercoastal that it is very hard for me to believe the fuel shortage excuses that the media uses so often.
Edit:
I also have been down to the Murphy Oil storage area on the South edge of Freeport 3 different times in the past week checking on the water level and there were 2 different tugs holding barges against their docks during unloading and the third time a tug was just leaving the docks with the unloaded barges.
Now someone somewhere is finding enough gas to keep this company in plenty of backup gas!!
