FIll up now????

[Smee]

A local bulk fuel dealer we do work for just called and advised us to fuel up our trucks IMMEDIATELY as gasoline will increase tonight by $1.00 to $1.50/gallon.

Anyone else hear this stuff?

Damn!!! Oil prices drop by 1/3 and we don't get a freakin break at all!

I don't know

oil right now $100.97 per Barrel.

May be Paranoia over Ike

Or attempted Gouging once it hits

Attempted

That happened back during Katrina, but once Arkansas declared a "state of emergency" the prices had to come back down. This storm is going to be too far away to cause that, so I guess we're gonna get ####### again.

I filled up tonight. The cheapest I could find was $3.69. All the other places I checked at are up to $3.89. Sharp increase from $3.51 yesterday.

If you're along the Gulf coast, you should definitely fill up first thing in the morning. It doesn't matter what the cost is. Chances are power will be out for several days over the next week on the coastal areas. Has nothing to do with cost; it has to do with supply! When power goes out, you will not be able to gas up. If visitors/evacuees are in your town/area/city, supply will be limited. Fill up at every chance you get. If you have an extra vehicle at home, fill it up too and put a stabilizer in it to preserve it for a few months, if need be.

Will the price be up? Probably. But you're talking about a difference of $1.50-$5.00 a tankful, based on the increase in price, unless the governor in the state has warned against price gouging. Just keep your tank FULL every chance you get. Supplies may be limited in the next week or so. DON'T STALL BECAUSE OF AN INCREASE OF $10 A FILLUP! Just get what you need and forget it.

Protest to the governor later, and save your receipts, but get your gasoline.

I just got back from getting gas. I sat in line for a good while. The station had two people directing which car could pull up to the pump next (It's a small parking lot). They said they would stay open until it is all gone. Prices have gone up about 57 cents since around 4:00 pm. It's highway robbery. My daughter just called and said the gas is all gone at a major station in West Knoxville. She's almost empty. I may have to go get her. My other daughter said the gas is all gone up her way too.

May God bless you all. Hope you are able to get gas.

Not a single band had crossed the Texas gulf coast before stations started claiming they had no fuel.

The Brookshire's at Florida and South Main Street in Crossett Arkansas got a shipment of fuel at 5:30 PM yesterday, but they have claimed to be out of fuel since about 10:PM (the time they shut down in the evening) and have claimed since opening that they have no fuel --- this town is too small to cause them to be out of fuel that fast, especially since they are not the only place in town that you can purchase any.

Glad no one is being greedy or planning on doing any price goughing!

 

[youk]

Talked to a friend in NC and she said where she is the stations are all saying they will run out of gas soon.
Price going up by the hour and long lines. Nothing like this in Northern NY yet.

 

[Smee]

Finally! Arkansas AG declared a state of emergency to stop the gougers and asked the citizens to report incidents of same.

In Arkansas, gouging is only a crime during a state of emergency. If they got their gas yesterday, they have to sell it at yesterday's prices . . . or what they would normally mark it up.

Hope he extends that to businesses who are "hoarding" in hopes of rising prices in the future.

$3.50 this am

$3.60 this pm

[LadyDigger]

These are within 5 mins of my home. Hopefully the stations around here won't be doing any gouging!!!

 

[jeff of pa]

The gouging just started now.

it's up 5 cents in tremont

up 6 to 20 cents in Pine grove depending on station.

Not sure on all the stations that just Dropped yesterday.

the stations Nearest the Interstates went up the most.
I guess they don't sell enough to keep
prices low

 

[Pimp Lenin]

I gassed up on Friday evening, and it was $3.56 a gallon. The gas station was limiting everyone to a maximum of ten gallons. Earlier in the day my wife went to three gas stations and all were out of gas. People were filling up like crazy because of the supply concerns. With Ike hitting Houston, a lot of the refineries have shut down. There is no telling when the gas stations will be getting shipments in. Hopefully soon. I didn't notice the prices today because I stayed home.

 

[Cynangyl]

Ours are staying the same so far way over here $3.79-$3.80 per gallon
