They are ALWAYS READY to crank those numbers up to the highest price possible. I think they could probably go to $999.999 per gallon if they so desired. And don't think anyone would protect you from them doing that either. Sandy? What? Most overhyped piece of nothing this world has ever seen. Now even WEATHERMEN want their fame and money. For false predictions.
