It was $2.69 here this morning. At 2pm it was $3.65 Now in some places its $6.57. In a lot of places they are out of gas. All you can get is 10 gallons. It is **** bull$#&%. :twisted: I filled both cars last night at midnight. Thats when I found out this was going to happen. Bought 25 gallons of gas jugs and filled them up and Filled the tank in all my gass powerd equipment up. Plus I have 28 gallons in my boat that I can siphon out if I need it. Unbelieveable. Unbelieveable. I am glad im on salary and not hourly. Geezzz. :(

...and now, shortages. Price depends on availability, those stations or companies that had some stock can sell a little lower, but when they get hit buying higher price gas, they have to pass it on. Itll all reach $4-6 here before long. And Im expecting rationing.

We filled up 2 days ago and Im wishing wed gotten more.

$2.89 here, easily $3 tomorrow,,,filled up my truck at $2.54. I'm about to ride a ATC/ATV to work, I can take about 5 miles of backroads and less then a mile on a highway. The fine here is $100 for atv's on the highway, but crap, i can prolly save that much before i get caught!

$3.09 here in central florida (Daytona & Orlando) if you can get it. most stations are out, but expecting tankers soon. dezul is being rationed to make sure emergency vehicles will have plenty. school buses will no longer run after today until supplies get back to normal

Well these *** suckers around here that were gouging us are about to get theres. THe state is fining stations that gouged customers $5000 per sale of gouged gas. So if they sold gas for $4-5 a gallon to 50 people multiply 50 X $5000. HUM big fine. Bunch of bastards. All these dang Rag Heads are going to get theres at the stations. :p

Plenty of Diesel in Highlands and Hardee counties (south central FL) at about 2.81 a gallon. Gas is rare, mostly premium, at 3.39 +++ if you can find it. Supposed to be more coming soon. Tankers are on the way, or so I hear.
