Gas prices could rise anywhere from 5 to 15 cents as a result of yesterday's Colonial gas pipeline explosion, according to AAA Alabama. But drivers shouldn't rush out for immediate "panic buying" and inadvertently make supply issues worse. Colonial Pipeline today said the Shelby County gas pipeline explosion that left one worker dead Monday and another four hospitalized was "related" to ongoing efforts to repair the damage from a nearby catastrophic line break in September. The pipeline, which stretches from New York to Houston, Texas, provides gasoline for an estimated 50 million people.

Sounds like the oil industry is missing out on an opportunity if that is all they plan to raise.

I don't care about the .15 per gal. It is the shortages that will hurt.

If it is a pipeline that supplies the East coast, then why would Alabama have shortages or gas prices go up?

They probably shut down the pipeline at Meridian, MS during the repairs. Everything east of MS will be affected.

Because Colonial also has breakout tankage that supplies lateral lines in the South. You can't even begin to imagine how important this pipeline is to our country's energy sector.

Here in western NC several stations already out of gas. Short gas lines at other stations. I filled up yesterday - the guy across from me was filling 5 jerry cans.

You must have some really good connections. Neither Colonial, nor any of the state petroleum councils in affected states (potentially most of the SE, up to DC or beyond) know this as of the various calls I was on late yesterday.
