Gas Prices!!

[salt newbie01]

Has anyone around the country heard about gas going up tonight due to the hurricane?? They have been on the radio around here (TN) saying gas will go up $1.50 per gallon at midnight and limit gas to 10 gallons!! They claim they have called gas stations and they have confirmed...Anyone else hearing anything about it???

Just talked with a customer that owns a station and he confirmed that his prices were going up at midnight. It is already crazy at the gas stations in town

From the chart above we have every reason in the world to complain about fuel prices. As you can see the USA does not have the highest fuel prices around the world but FAR from the cheapest.
With Venezuela being an oil rich country and much closer to import oil than Saudi, why is the USA dealing with them for the importation of oil?

Haha or ride the bus

 

[ofblong]

I ride my bike just about everyday.


oooh your talking pedal bike not motorcycle.

 

[theplatypus]

Looks like gas went up under .10 a gallon here.

 

[ofblong]

reefer I just looked at your list. That list doesnt include places like london where they are paying $9/gallon

 

[salt newbie01]

it's random here this morning - some went up .50 some .20 and some stayed the same - just gouging the consumer. they could at least kiss me first!!

that list is pretty crazy

 

[fishes2889]

Our gas levels are steady at $3.42 here....

We are sitting on trillions of barrels of oil..
Energy is the Heart and Oil is the blood of this country, Cutting our dependency on foreign supply will have a major effect on our economy (for the better).

I'm tired of turning on TLC and watching Dubai build billion dollar Islands, Indoor Ski Arena's in the desert, & one of the worlds largest buildings with *our* money. We drill here our money stays here..
