Price off oil down, gas prices up?

I don't know whats going on here but this is ridiculous.
I went out yesterday and went past the local gas station.
The price was $3.89 a gallon. The lot was full to the road.

I came back an hour later and the lot was still full but the
price was now $4.09 a gallon. I had to pack behind the
store so I could go in and get some things.

I am guessing this is due to hurricane Ike but prices
in Mississippi and Texas were still in the $3.50 range
when I spoke to my husband and daughter.

Now I here $5 a gallon and I don't like it.

I just read an article that stated that gasoline prices are up an average of 5 cents per gallon across the country because of the storms having knocked out so many refineries. It seems that we can't win with the price of gasoline in this country.
