The transportation industry is very sensitive to effects of disruption. When the local news lead with footage of a refinery fire in Richmond Calif at 5:00, gas rose $.05 by 5:30 at local stations. The 5:30 news footage included people changing the price signs.

And they don't do anything about those who gouge at the gas pump. Years back they had big investigations about gas prices but it just kind of died and nothing came of it. Guess they think that there is something they can get press mileage out of by trying it on airline ticket prices.

When there is more supply than demand and the prices go up, someone is profiteering.
