Yes sir, I do. I also know that the gas stations would generally go under if they didn't sell ancillary products in addition to gas. I don't begrudge them that.

I am also familiar with the multitude of places that supply our oil. The Arab comment was tongue-in-cheek. A hurricane can cause price increases too. So can a weak housing market - it's affected everything else.
