Let gas prices go to $15 per gallon and you would have private tankers lined up at the NJ border to get in and sell it immediately.

Exactly. When a trailer load of petrol represents a six figure profit suppliers will be crawling over each other to find a way to fill the demand.

Yes. Plenty of folks here, too.
