Gas prices actually dropped in the months after 9/11 [1]. Any place that was charging $8 per gallon day of was guilty of price gouging. Either way, you are comparing an SEC decision to the aftermath of the largest terrorist attack in history. Don't you think the scale of these two events is a little different?

Parent post said "nothing short of a global nuclear war". Don't you think that's yet another difference in scale?
