How long does it take for the reduction in refining to have an
effect on the amount of fuel available at the pump? I bet it's a lot
longer than the time it took the oil companies to put up the prices.

You've put your finger on a law of oil economics.

Price increase take effect immediately. Price decreases take effect
only when cheaper oil makes its way through the pipeline.

I gather that much of the US Coffee supply was in warehouses
in New Orleans.

Meanwhile, consumers may soon begin to pay for Katrina in other

Take coffee. New Orleans is the nation's second-largest port for
incoming coffee shipments. But redirecting those shipments doesn't
solve all the problems, because the city is also a major coffee
production center.

About a quarter of the entire U.S. stock of unprocessed coffee is
stored in New Orleans. More than half of the Folger's and Millstone
brand coffees sold by Procter & Gamble Co. are made at two plants in
New Orleans.

Add to the fact that coffee has be reported to be a superior source of
antioxidents even more than tea.
