Patrick Penfield Quoted in CNYCentral Story on How Hurricane Harvey Impacts Gas Prices

Despite doing the worst damage in Texas, Hurricane Harvey also touched many others around the nation and in Central New York- by increasing gas prices. Whitman Professor of Supply Chain Practice Patrick Penfield spoke with CNYCentral about this correlation.

“The longer they’re not online,” Penfield said, “then this is where prices will continue to go up.” Penfield also noted Hurrican Katrina; a natural disaster that caused a 50 cent increase in gas prices around the area.
