"Bottom line here is that people aren’t going to rush out to fill up their half-empty tanks with $8.00 gas. Instead they’ll buy only what gas is absolutely necessary, and then wait for the prices to come down."

lol shiiiiiiieet that's what I've doing for like a year! everytime I see the gas prices go down I'm there to fill up my tank and then wait it out until I absolutely need it and if the price is way too high I try to wait it out for it to go down again

Neal Boortz does have a good point though, since the demand is extremely high, let the price follow and perhaps people will be forced to get the bare minimum and wait it out until the prices go down from the competitive gas war

on the other hand, things might go out of hand and the prices might stick for an elongated period of time until the "war" begins
