I read that the pipeline bringing gasoline from New Orleans to the Southeast has been fully restored. Thus, gas prices in the area served by the pipeline have begun to drop appreciably. Unfortunately, the pipeline from the RDU Airport area to North Raleigh is still out of commission. That’s why gas prices are twenty cents cheaper around the airport than they are ten miles farther north.
Officials have no word as to when this vital pipeline will be repaired. Perhaps when a few of those stations get busted for price gouging.
