Western NC ................ I paid $3.59 for 89 octane this morning.

I don't think Gov. Easley likes you for some reason.  Yeah, he's a jerk, but what did you do to hurt his widdle feelings?

Local disruption from Gulf hurricanes?  I gassed up here in central MO for $3.45 a gallon today.

That's odd it's that high because traditionally Charleston, SC has some of the lowest gas prices in the country, and by virtue of that so does Wilmington, NC.  New Bern (James City), NC is just up the road a ways from there.

We have a Pilot station a 1/2 mile from our subdivision entrance.

Yesterday afternoon, I was on fumes and filled up for $3.63.

Told Michael he should go "top" his off last night after I heard the south part of the county was running out of gas.

He was such a guy ::)

He went up this morning about 8 and it was $3.69 but all 5 double pumps had lines so he came back home. He went up at 10....and it was $3.99!  :o

should have listened to the redhead....  :tongue:

CH, somebody's doing some price gouging. Gas here in North Central Texas was $3.449 last night. I live in a resort area (Lake Texoma) so gas goes up pretty quick and always right before the weekend.

No kidding.

It was $3.67 this morning at around 530am...................was $4.49 at 1030am

I mean NC does have some high taxes on gas but damn..........just damn.

The rumor is they shut the pipeline going to Selma NC down today. We have in this area one man that owns a lot of the stores and he is always the first and fastest to go up.

The dumbasses around here are not helping the matters as everyone is going to top off there tanks and there is about an hour wait at some stations. I did see one station at $3.79 about three miles from one at $4.99 :banghead:

yep................no price gouging :whatever:

I'm in SC about 35 miles south of Charlotte NC. The news media(all TV stations) there did a story there late yesterday about "Gas shortages" due to hurricane. Last night they had lines here at gas stations until closing time or the station was out of gas. ...and now there is, at least in this area, a gas shortage. Why? Because everyone ran out at once and emptied all the storage tanks......at once.

Now you can call me racist and save some reading but I'm going to say it anyway. All the Indian owned stations, and that's not American Indians I'm talking about, jacked their prices up right away and the local owned (white/black station owners) are still around $3.65 for reg. .....if they have any. ....but there seems to be plenty of the high octane everywhere........ :-)

After I read the story on WRAL I ran out this a.m. around 0830 and filled up for $3.69.  My daughter called from Raleigh later in the day and said lines were forming at the stations around state campus and police were having to direct traffic.  Supposedly Easley implemented a price gouging measure that resulted in...price gouging!

"The price of a gallon of regular gas shot from $3.79 to $4.39 overnight at a Texaco station on Arendell Avenue in Zebulon. The station manager didn't provide a reason for the sudden increase, except to note that he would have to pay $5.32 a gallon for his next shipment"

It's keeps falling in price here in central MA ($3.49), which makes my husband cranky because he was after me for 6 months to get rid of my Suburban, and trade it in for some ridiculous 4 cylinder PC piece of nonsense.  

I live in New England.  It has been known to snow here.   You kind of need the 6, and 8 cyinder vehicles.

Well.....other than some sort of streaking prankster in Valentine.....nothing's happening here in Nebraska.

Gasoline prices the same as they've been the past few days; circa $3.59.

I didn't need a tank that got 15 mpg and was only a 2WD.  Traded in the Ford Valdez for a Jeep in April.

Smartest move I've made in a while.  Driving 40-45 miles each way to work adds up fast.  I figure I'm saving at least $150/month in gas.  That and it handles like a dream.  I can't wait for winter to see how it handles the snow on I-95 and the Spaulding....

yep, that's where the platforms and refineries are. People lined for blocks here in Fla. Gas at 4.00 per gallon, just sent husband to top off my tank. After Katrina it was 2 or 3 weeks before they could ship any gas in here. It comes by barge.

It was up to $3.69 a gallon today, jumped a dime from yesterday and 20 cents a gallon more 2 days ago. For over a week it's been $3.39.

You should have seen the line at Sam's. You would have thought they were giving it away. It turned out they were the same price as the local station. Some discounter.  :whatever:

Thanks--same color, even.  Real easy to keep looking nice.

On another note, gas prices overnight just jumped 10-15 cents.

The local news is reporting that several stations around town are out of gas.

When we came home last night around 11:30....the Pilot up at the corner was still open and showing $4.49, the Weigel's (local quick shop) was open too, but they had taken their numbers off their sign, the Texaco was closed (we never go there - it's owned by mid-easterners), but it looked like their sign said $4.59.

U TN is playing UAB this afternoon at 12:30 and the local news was reporting last night and this morning that people who had traveled in from out of town were worried about getting gas to get back home. The stadium holds 107,000 fans.

------------

The other half just came back from the grocery, Pilot is @ $4.99. He stopped in for cigs and the girl said they had to break up a couple of fistfights in the parking lot....  :mental:....this is not an area where fistfights are common. :o

Friday morning gas was $3.699/gallon.  Friday after work it was $3.999/gallon IF you could find it and didn't mind waiting 30-45 mins in line.  Today it's $4.099 or more.  Meanwhile crude oil prices continue to drop.

Remember Bella Pelosi's claim for the first 100 days of the Dim run congress?  One of their main objectives was to get gas prices under control.   :censored: Bella and her dim ASSociates.
