Is what gas prices went up to in some parts of Georgia in the last 2 hours. Some stations have run out, others are "politely asking" their customers to only take 10 gallons at a time. There's talk of rationing here in Blue Ridge, and our UPS driver just informed us that gas hit $5.00 a gallon in Jasper where we live.
Yikes.
Gas here only went up six cents from last night.

No change up here in the Midatlantic area. I just filled up with 93 octane for $3.70/gallon.
Went up from $3.69 to $3.89 here last night.

Bicycle's got plenty of fuel, though.

3.62 in Miami yesterday at Costco. What's going on in those other places?
$4.04 at lunch time in Spartanburg. A lot of stations are closed and the ones that have gas are backed up.
I swear I'm going to buy me a small murdercycle.

Kinda ironic that oil dropped below $100 a barrel today, huh.

I'm in the midatlantic, and gas here went up 20 cents a gallon since yesterday: $3.39 to $3.59 at a number of the local stations.
News is on right now. Never underestimate the berkeley tardedness of your fellow homo sapiens. They've got one news crew at an Ingles (grocery store) in Marietta, where gas is $5.25/gallon, and another news crew at Costco, where gas is $3.69/gallon.
Instead of "riding out the storm" over the weekend, these berkeley sticks are lined up (12 separate lines, 10-15 cars deep) filling up their Expeditions and Excursions...decreasing the supply, increasing demand. Jesus berkeleying Christ.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!
Oh my god!!!!!, hurricanes in the gulf of Mexico!!!!!!, who would have thought that was ever possible!!!!!!?????
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!
It's the same logical thinking that provokes people to drive fifteen miles out of the way to save a dollar on a tank of gas.

Good lord I hate the retards. I truly do.
People were leaving work in the middle of the day yesterday to go get gas all because of a stupid internet rumor. Some stations are playing along and laughing all the way. When I pedaled by a the kangaroo today gas was still well under $4/gallon, just like it has been for a while now.
great...
just as motorcycle season is ending.
I gassed up in Duluth for $3.79 a gallon (I actually needed gas, not hoarding). My friend called me to let me know that 5 miles away there were lines to get into some gas stations, and one was out of gas to sell.
ZEH OMG TEH HURiKAN3S is gonna eatz my gas!
The stampede of morons begins....
No change in upstate NY. At least in my area.
ours went from $4.04 to $3.99 that shocked me especially with hunting season starting.
We jumped from $3.59 this morning with no lines anywhere to $4.89 this evening with lines everywhere. People are weird.
the attorney general of texas was just on fox news talking about how they'll probably have to prosecute a few businesses for price gouging because of the hurricane

well, it is putting offline a not insignificant part of the country's refining capacity for an indefinite amount of time.
when I gassed up the other night, during the panic.. There was a guy in a full size tahoe, a guy in a big caddy, and a women in an explorer.. All staring at me because my civic dx hatch didnt need to bump up against the "only 10 gallons per car" rule to be full. They all gave me glaring looks, when it took $25 to put the old civc up on Full.
Where can I find a, "I'm using less gas than you" bumpersticker?
