A wide-spread belief that nested bars enhance gas inflow to the galactic centre has recently been contradicted by dynamical models in which inner bars seem to prohibit such inflow. Can the existing models of dynamically possible double bars be modified to enable strong inflow in the secondary bar? I present here simple dynamical arguments which imply that in general, double bars in resonant coupling do not enhance gas inflow. However, stronger inflow with straight shocks in the inner bar can occur if there is no resonant coupling of the commonly assumed form between the bars.
