Oil, gas prices fall to April levels after Gustav weakens
The Washington Times
Wednesday, September 3, 2008

"The Colonial pipeline, the main conduit bringing fuel into the Washington area, was operating at reduced capacity due to power outages and shutdowns at pumping stations in central Louisiana. Because of ample supplies at most gas stations, however, the cutbacks had not caused an increase in pump prices."
