Cape May County. Re. To all, you that think the gas and diesel prices are because of the war.. You are a delusional.. Gas prices are determined by the refinery and the distributors.. It has ZERO to do with any war.. These are lies being spread by uneducated people. - While I somewhat agree with what you’re saying, you’re missing a few key points. We have the same refining capacity we did before action with Iran started so it can’t be just refining capacity. The part of the equation you may be missing is fear. Fear can be rational or irrational, results are the same. Hoarding?
