did the arizona gaspipeline in 2003 was there a shift in the supply curve demand curve or both? Did the shift happen tothe left or to the right?
Your question is not a properly written sentence, but I will interpret it, as "When the Arizona gaspipeline ruptured in 2003, was there a shift in the supply curve demand curve or both? Did the shift happen to the left or to the right?
I assume you are referring to the rupture of a gasoline pipeline from Tucson to Phoenix in July-August 2003. Here is a news item about it:
<<HOUSTON, Aug 19 (Reuters) - Pipeline operator Kinder Morgan Energy Partners (nyse: KMP - news - people) on Tuesday said it would begin tests on an Arizona gasoline pipeline that ruptured nearly three weeks ago, sending prices in the Phoenix area spiraling above $2 a gallon.
If the tests are successful, the line, which ships fuel from Tucson to Phoenix, could be back in service by this weekend, Houston-based Kinder Morgan said in a statement.
The line ruptured on July 30. Drivers have been forced to wait in long lines and pay high prices as the gasoline shortage has grown more acute.>>
In answer to your question, gasoline supply went down and prices went up until demand was reduced to match supply. The rupture presumably did not affect the demand curve. At a given rice, much less gas was available for sale. Look at how supply curves are plotted and that should tell you if the curve moved to the left or right.
