Hi Slowpoke, Now you went and done it! Two weeks before labor day they broke a pipe line running from Tucson to Phoenix, so they say! This was the same day that the East coast had a black-out. Amazing! Then two days latter they say the supply line from Cal. to Phoenix got hit by a truck, ON THE SAME NIGHT as the black out! Phoenix only has two "under ground" supply lines. Fuel went from $1.40gal to $2.20gal over night, both gas and diesel. Only the gasoline lines got broke! Then stations were advertising $2.40gal on the sign but the pump was charging $4gal. Now they got the lines "fixed" a week before Labor day but the price of gas never came down. Since the AZ Governor called price gouging on some of the diesel haulers, price of diesel came down to $1.4gal. However gasoline is still anywhere from $1.7gal to $2gal. Then last week a "train" hits the Cal to Phoenix line again causing a rupture. This time it was fixed the same day. How does a train hit a underground pipeline? HD was one of the trucking companys that got hit with price gouging fuel. They truck in all there fuel so the pipe line would have not affected there supply. Of course I bet we never here what the out come of what the fine was! I didn't know that HD was in the trucking or fuel bizz? What a snafu! T_Bone
