Nationwide, the price of regular gasoline climbed by only half a cent to $2.97 on Monday from Sunday, even though the company could not set a timetable for restarting the pipeline. New York State prices remained stable at $3 a gallon, according to the AAA motor club.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPotentially it will be inconvenient,\u201d said Ed Hirs, an energy economist at the University of Houston. \u201cBut it\u2019s not a big deal because there is storage in the Northeast and all the big oil and gas companies can redirect seaborne cargoes of refined product when it is required.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The problem with this?
