What are gas prices doing in your part of the country? In the last 24 hours, gas at our local station went from $3.69/gal to $4.69/gal. It is unbelievable how the oil companies will use any excuse to raise their prices! Drill baby, Drill!
Despite oil falling, there was newsblurb this morning about wholesale gas going up over a dollar a gallon overnight because of Ike, so yeah, I wouldn't be surprised. Saw on the news stations in TX raising the prices by 30 cents a gallon at a crack for the ones fleeing Ike, now that's nice right there.
Our area is not being affected by Ike at all. But......I left for a buisness trip at 6:30 yesterday morning and filled up for $3.40. I just glanced out the door, and the same station, across the street, just posted the price of $4.20!!!!!!
What really kills me is they are raising the prices on gas that is already sitting in their tanks. Its not a "new" price the station owners are paying!! So if the storm doesn't cause all the trouble forcasted, and oil prices keep going down, are they going to give me a refund next week for the gas I bought today?????

If you bought a house 20 years ago for $100,000 and could sell it today for $200,000 what would you do? Are you going to sell it for what you paid for it or will you sell it at market price?
45 cents higher today since Wed. am.
We are on the "Ike" pipeline and they sent everyone into a panic yesterday saying we will run out. Kinda like when they say it is going to snow here, the shelves clear of milk and bread.
3.69 this morning 3.99 right now. I'm getting about fed up. Don't see how the dems think they are going to take congress with their position on drilling, nuclear power, and refineries. Stupid ass dem congress is killing me. To top it all off they want to raise my taxes. I'm basically making the same money I was when gas was 1.60 a gal.
It's our turn in the barrel every friggin' day regards,
More than 16 percent of the nations refining capacity is shut down right now due to Ike. That is going to make prices go up. Not sure if things are back up and running in Louisiana yet. Will take 10 to 14 days to get Texas back up and running (baring no major damage from Ike)
Most of the Texas coastal gas stations are bone dry right now too. Going to take a lot of gas to fill those up for the millions of people that will be coming back.
Since I posted that my wife and I went to fill up our cars just in case. The station that was 3.99 had already gone to 4.19 and was so busy selling gas we couldn't get in to buy any. We went down the street to another station where it was 4.09 a gal. The guy that owned the station is a good friend of mine and he showed me his invoice for the load of gas he had just bought. 3.89 a gal is what he paid, he is making 20 cents a gal. While I was there he called to see if he could get another load because it was going fast, and Walthaal oil said they couldn't get him any more gas before Tues. and maybe longer than that if this hurricane was bad. Milledgeville gas prices were already at 4.69 in some places, and everybody is buying trying to avoid getting caught short.
I bought $75.00 worth of gas yesterday and I just paid $102.00 today. If this keeps up there won't be any gas in McIntyre tomorrow.
$3.43 yesterday and $3.59 today. What stinks is we have 2 refineries 20 miles from us and get 95% + of all our crude from Canada so we are never even close to shutting down due to Gulf weather.
Gas prices are already going up here and "Ike" is still at sea!
Just saw on the news that in Fl., I think, gas was 5.29 a gal! You think a little price gouging may be going on?
Not here, $3.71 just a few minutes ago and I also saw $3.69
I just talked to my buddy who drove up to Georgia today to set up stands and feeders. He said it was $4.79 and there were big LINES and some stations out of gas, this was just across the state line, but he said all the stations in N. Fl along I75 were the same price ($4.79)
Damn........
I just topped off the tank at $3.79, the attendant said tomorrow it would be $5.25. Several stations have run out of fuel already. She said NC would be out of gas in 2 days.
A lot of local gas stations aound Winston Salem NC are already out of regular unleaded gas.
One local station in Clemmons was limiting purchases to $20.00. We were lucky to fill up the vehicles at $3.89 but had to buy premium.
