$6 Gasoline Will Hurt Florida Tourism More Than Off-Shore Drilling

Link here for article on $6 gasoline in Florida.
Talk about pain at the pump! Some Florida drivers are spending nearly $6 a gallon to fill up their gas tanks.

According to GasBuddy.com, motorists are shelling out $5.89 for a gallon of regular gas at a Shell station in Lake Buena Vista, topping out at $5.99 a gallon for premium. It doesn’t get better at a Suncoast Energy station in Orlando, where drivers are paying $5.79 for a gallon of regular.

“Prices over in the Disney World area are much higher than any other place in Florida,” Jessica Brady, AAA spokeswoman, told CBS Tampa, adding that people regularly complain about gas prices in that area.
I guess the writer is trying to say that the price of gasoline is no big deal, people complain about it all the time.

    1. Incredible! When I get back home, and caught up, I will post the link in a stand-alone post. Thank you. Here's the "nut" of the link:

      Crude oil supply growth will double from 2011-16, including production increases of 547,000 b/d in the Williston Basin and 131,000 in the Utica Shale. Anticipation of U.S. and Canadian crude oil supply growth is leading to significant U.S. infrastructure projects in all sectors of the industry, including more than 75 crude oil pipeline projects, 25 crude oil rail projects and seven crude oil refinery expansions.... now if only the president would get on board.
