Well it seems to me that the TEST was a success it found a weak point, or the system was over pressurized?:cool:
 
Friday morning gas around me was $3.69 this morning one station was down to $3.54. This is crazy!!!!!

Good news- they found the weak spot.

Bad news- The pipeline will be down and out of service until they can get it fixed. :-(


Whatever it is, you can bet the oil barons will find a way to make a profit on the news.

WOW!! I wish gas around here would only change by a few pennies. For the last couple of weeks gas has flucuated between 15-25 cents per gallon overnight. Monday driving home from work gas was around $3.54. Tuesday morning the same gas station had gas at $3.69.
