Coming to a city near you....

It's Ike....

 

[Bill of Rights]

I don't know how much credence to put to this, but my daughter works at a convenience store. She told me her boss thinks gas will go to $6.00/gallon today. I'm not sure if it will or won't... but I just got back from filling up. Then again, I needed gas anyway.

IKE - the pimp hand of mother nature

I ran out awhile ago and filled up too. Just seeing it drop today almost 20 cents, then reading this was enough to make me fill up just in case.

I'm at just below a quarter tank. And stuck at work...

It already has gone to $6 in certain parts of Texas. That is because they are selling all their gas and will not be resupplied until after Ike. All of the sheeple didn't think that living near the coast in prime hurricane area would mean that it was a good idea to keep 20-30 gallons of spare gas around.

Preparedness? Don't be crazy! The Government will save me!

Of course the will! You can always count on the government. Relax!

My taxes pay their salaries! They'd better save me!

My sister lives in S.C. She claimed last night that some stations were selling at >$7.00. I take that report with a certain amount of skepticism, but I have no particular reason to disbelieve her.

Well, it looks like they no longer have us in the path. I guess that means gas can go back down..... Yeh, like that's going to happen.

There very well may be a gas shortage for the short term. If enough people buy gas that they otherwise wouldn't, gas will be sold out. This is not a real supply problem (other than immediately next to the coast), but a hysteria demand problem.

Will all my vehicles topped, I could get by for 3 weeks without a fillup, and without changing things at all. Many people are like that, but will still hysterically buy gas, causing price spikes and shortages.

Makes me really scared how stupid they will act if there ever IS a serious widespread emergency...

Oh they will..... eventually........ Take a number

If you have any problems waiting please feel free to take a number from their complaint department. Take your number and within a few seconds your problems will be over.

Exactly. I was being facetious. As a public employee, the thought of someone actually using the "I pay your salary" line drives me up a wall.

Filled up this afternoon, on US 31 (South side) for 3.81/gallon. Cheapest I've seen since before the "oh my gosh it's MotoGP weekend, we'd better raise gas prices" increases hit.

Gas prices here went up 20 cents - from $3.69 to $3.89 today. SO glad I got gas this morning!

 

[Bigum1969]

Gas prices went as high as $4.69 in Henderson, KY this afternoon for awhile. Gas is usually about 10-20 cents cheaper over there than here in Evansville.

The President announced that he would be going after "price gougers" today. 'They are being watched........."

I just checked MSNBC's Ike tracker a few moments ago, and Indianapolis is still in the path. The main line goes just slightly north and west of the city.
