Do you think Hurricane Katrina will raise gas prices?

Asked at Massachusetts Street on August 30, 2005

“Yes I do, but I think they will come down after Labor Day as they tend to. At least that is my hope.”

“I would anticipate that happening quite easily. I don't think people think about natural disasters contributing to the rising prices, but I think this one will.”

“Maybe a little bit, but I think they were going to go up anyway.”

“Yes. It might go up, but I'm sure that the people who are affected by the hurricane will work as hard as they can to make sure the gas gets to the people, because they are part of the people.”
