and this is the point where is stop trying to explain it to you. I can't convence someone that doesn't want to see it. karguy427 said it right behind me, If there is not enough gas to go around then they will rais the price. and yes there are people filling up five gallon paint pales so if theres no shortage, why are they sold out. but who am I kiding, you are just looking for the next person to blame.
