Some inventories could be wiped out within weeks, the executives have warned, coinciding with the peak summer travel season.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>While the dwindling shipments out of the Gulf States has so far caused gas prices to increase well over $1 on average across the U.S., if the key shipping route remains closed or unsafe for much longer, it will quickly reach the point where stockpiles begin to reach critical levels. At that point, prices will potentially increase to astronomical levels, and gas rationing might also have to be implemented.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nextaddressamerica.com\/?p=1444\">GOP strategists sweating over Trump\u2019s \u2018extremely unhelpful\u2019 midterms gaffe<\/a><\/p>\n<p>For the time being, some of the sources that the Post spoke to are trying to remain optimistic. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have absolutely no doubt the White House \u2014 from the president on down \u2014 is fully aware of the nearly universal alarm among oil companies and analysts about the direction of travel for oil prices this summer,\u201d Bob McNally, a former energy adviser under George W.
