Oh and now that "they" all know what day this is going to happen, don't you think they will take take the right moves to counter this plot?

Those with an ounce of supply & demand economic sense know having the government step in to control prices is absolutely a worst-case scenario.
Those who remember $1.15/gal 20 years ago know that it was more expensive then, than $2.60 (or more) is now.
I'm having to consider whether going to Brainerd, MN, for the Division V ET Finals - 2200 miles round trip, ~8 MPG towing the '57 - is more than my hobby budget will allow. I am confident, though, that not buying any gas on 9/1 will not make it one penny cheaper.

Besides, 9/2 is the start of the Mile High Bracketnationals at Bandimere. I'm not going to wait until that morning to buy my gas for the weekend...
