Is there a gas panic in your town. In the news around here , some have raised prices 30.-50.gal. some up to $1.00. Some are reportedly limiting purchases to 10 gallons....some stations here in North Carolina are out of gas , be it temporary, till the next truck gets there, or when ever.
Prices here in Shelby,NC went from $3.62 to $4.15 overnight...
DRILL BABY DRILL, they don't have hurricanes in Alaska
Hurricane Ike is going over the oil rigs in the Gulf right now. The oil companies won't have any idea how extensive the damage is or when they will be able to resume drilling. The markets are just responding to the uncertainty of the situation.
haven't noticed it here "yet"
We've have a price panic here for the past 2 years! :(
Gas has gone up another 14 cents in the past two hours here... It is now $4.29...
Woner if the Carolinas is one of those places were you can't drill offshore?
This has been posted on every pop up website that you can find. Are we trying to create a panic? What do you hope to gain by running around yelling panic?
I just filled up for $3.67. Cheapest I've seen it in quite awhile.... :-()
$3.67 yesterday to $4.29 today........so far!
$3.76 here. Nobody seems worried.
Gas was 3.52 this morning. When we went out to dinner this evening it was 3.99 and then on our way home from dinner it was 4.25.

Not running around yelling panic here.. just telling it like it is...
Coach,
Federal and state regulations prohibit North Carolina and other coastal states from drilling offshore.. Hurricane IKE will surely help change these idiotic regulations in the near future....
Have a Shell Oil Refinery here in town & we pay Higher prices than any where they transport gasoline to. Just the mention of the word "hurricane" and the price per gallon goes up! Legally, in AL they can increase it as much as approx. $1.00/gal PER DAY!!! The law was passed when gasoline prices were $1.20/gal.
Something has got to CHANGE!!!! $3.70/gal as of last night; who knows what it is TODAY.

The strange thing is that the majority of the offshore rigs in the Gulf are off the coast of Louisiana. Last week when Gustav hit Louisiana more rigs were affected than with Ike. Louisiana also has the largest strategic oil supply in the country and when we were hit by Gustav, none of this craziness happened with gas prices. Oh and by the way our refineries here slowed down production as well. I wonder why the markets didn't react then.

Jacksonville, FL was $3.57 yesterday. Son needed gas this morning and saw it for $3.99 and ended up paying $3.67 up the road. 2 other stations near where he got gas were out of regular unleaded.
Some stations are limiting folks to 10 gallons, does a lot of good right off I-95:eyecrazy:.
During Fay when we were flooded you could get gas anywhere.
Drill Here, Drill Now, Pay Less!
Gas keeps dropping here in AZ. I saw it for 3.35 today but most places are around 3.41.
It was $3.53 when I left Thursday to go camping. It is now $4.29, and many stations in my area are out of gas. So, yeah, I would call that a gas panic.
The panic was bad here last Friday a week ago, but is ok now. We are paying 3.87 currently. I see over the course of the last week most places have gas again. Gas Prices got as high as 5.49 for a short time. November should be a foregone conclusion, but it seems that everyone has forgotten where we are in the world. We have a one time opportunity to change things for the better. Hint it's not the guy who is running on empty promises of hope and change. Vote for the guy who knows what he's doing, and has good taste in running mates.
I sure wish I could figure out how middle Tennessee is apparently the only place still indirectly affected by the gas shortages caused by Ike and/or the hysteria. Reportedly, all other major cities in Tennessee have gas. Nashville was 85% out on Friday. Reports yesterday claimed that number had dropped to 60% out. When stations get deliveries the gas is gone within a few short hours. We stayed home yesterday to conserve gas. Today we did drive to the Titans game (30 miles - round trip) and passed numerous gas stations on the way. ONE station had gas. ONE! The rest - nada. The price at that station was $3.99 and based on the cars in line, I would estimate an hour long wait to get to the pumps.
