$4.59 in town right now for regular unleaded....yet crude is holding at $100/barrel.

The gas station around the corner from where I live literally just had 25 cars in the lot and waiting to get in .

everyone is panicking because the hurricane is headed to houston, and some refineries are shutting down. someone started a rumor that gas is going to hike a buck and a half a gallon. the sky is falling, the sky is falling.

If those refineries can't withstand 105mph winds at best then we really need to just give up and let the terrorists win. If we're that god damn stupid to build something that weak...

Interesting take from a Libertarian.

yesterday morning it was 3.49 at the gas station next to where i live...tonight it is 4.29. Total bullsh*t if you ask me...like Hossy said it's already paid for. Makes me love my MINI even more.

They can.
But the people working in and around them cannot.

It's going the other way here in upstate NY, peaked at about $4.25 around the 4th of July.....down under $3.75 currently.

They'll be back at full capacity in 10 days easy.

We do have reserves for disasters like this. We're getting robbed.

Illinois loves it when we get gouged. They get a percentage. Have no interest at all in seeing low prices or justice.

maybe this will stop the boom cars from just driving around all night. Haven't heard one all day. That's worth $6 a gallon gas to me

Prices in my area went up .35 cents overnight, I was really ticked off until I read what some others have seen. It is price-gouging, and it is criminal!

Here's a site that may help:

This place was selling it at 3.59 last night, this morning it was 4.19:rolleyes:

I was able to get gas this morning for 3.69 at another place on the way to work:tro:

still beating the increase that was rumored, 1.50. it spiked with katrina, and then lowered again a few days later. hang in there folks!
luckily, i was at 3/4 tank in my personal car. company car-well, they pay for it!:D

i've got some wind blowing here, but i think the storm went further northwest then originally thought, i think we'll be ok here. wish everyone could say the same.
