3. Tuesday is the day the gas truck comes to my little town and replenishes our gas stations.

It is also the day the gas prices change. We'll find out tomorrow how it goes.

I recall on 9/11 the prices on a couple of stations nearby quadrupled their prices by noon. Those stations quickly went out of business. The local owners were vilified. Customers were pissed and never forgot, boycotting those stations even after they dropped their prices.

Edit to add: Did a drive-about. From a base of 2.79, I saw two still at 2.79, two 3.09, one 3.21. Someone's making some extra, because this is last Tuesday's gas they are selling. There should not be an impact yet.
