Hoosier Gas Price Hikes Not Connected to Pipeline Hack

Hoosier drivers my have noticed gas prices creeping upward even before word of the Colonial Pipeline hacking.

That’s because the pipeline doesn’t serve Indiana; it provides about 45 percent of fuel for the East Coast, but bypasses the Hoosier State.

A Triple-A spokesman says Indiana won’t feel the pinch from the pipeline unless it remains closed for more than a week.

Hoosier price hikes come from work-at-home employees who are now returning to their companies and driving more which pushes prices up.
