It's a scare tactic. For some reason and it shouldn't Gas prices track oil prices which is daft.
70% increase, in what time frame? I thing there is gouging going on and this is a ground preparer.
Gas will go up but not that much in a year. So if it only goes up 30% next year the gas companies will look good.
I wouldn't start panicking just yet. There is plenty of gas.
