in richmond ca about 50 miles from me couldn't see anything but was pretty bad,but gas prices are going up to over 4.00 because of it.also those affected by it are standing in long lines to fill out paper work to be compensated. why should gas go up when i've heard they have reserves of gas, just insane fel like we are being ripped off .

They say that's why the price went up here in Missouri and there is some pipeline somewhere that was causing out increase before that  Our prices have gone up 30 cents in the last 3 weeks

sorry i didnt hear anything about that and yes i did notice the rising gas prices but i wasnt sure why it was going up.

I think that is all a bunch of @#$%^A&%$@E and that they just want to empty our pockets to satisfy their greed.  Its a scam!

The night of the explosion I went straight to the gas station to top off my tank. When I got there, gas was already up by ten cents! Crazyness

The real reason that gas prices are going up in the USA is that while the government has convinced us that if we use less fuel that the price of fuel will come down. While the gas companies have figured out that since our government will only tax them more if they sell more here. So now they sell refined gas to China and other countries for more than they can sell it here and avoid a lot of USA environmental taxes. That makes a shortage here and prices GO UP! I bought an electric bicycle and now they don't get a penny from me.

wish i had an electric bicycle. that would be nice but i like my old bike coz i actually got some exercise.

electrics bikes, now that is a winner, I believe in the near future, gas prices will be so high, people will start getting bikes, jobs will be lost and food will get higher. This all has to do with greed, there is no way around it.

I heard Obama personally blew it up himself because he hates America.

I'm glad you posted this topic. It's interesting to hear the information that everyone has on this subject.  I had heard about the explosion, it's good no one was seriously injured.  I read an article about the rise in prices and the bend of the article was that the rise is due to "panic" buying. It will be interesting to see if the prices settle back down in a few weeks.

just another way for them to make more money.

I have a friend who was close to the explosion.
He said they happen a lot out there....
