well Mike....

Big Storm for tonight predicted, time to raise the pump price, as people will fill the tank... "just in case"....

ahh New Englanders... we make the bread and milk run, fill the tank, every time the weather forecasters predict a storm... follow the gallon price on milk too... I've been seeing a pattern there too...

I've talked to a few people in the retail food biz, they said it all traces back to the blizzard of 78, ever since then, people have a "stock up" mentality, when bad weather is forcasted.
