    It was $2.50 here yesterday, and today it is $2.57. Thats a 7 cent jump and god knows that it going to go even higher tomorrow. Hawaii put a cap on gas prices, and they have the right idea. The other states need to follow the example.

    be a good time to put some fuel in a barrel and bury it in the back yard. Im hearing rumors of gas and natural gas shortages coming up. A couple of other oil rigs have gone down (one burned to the water line) recently in addition to the ones that were hit in the hurricane.

    Gas was $2.499 here yesterday morning, around noon it was $2.699. The word here is it's going to go up some where between $.13 - $.40 tomorrow. I need a moped in the worst way.

    It was at 2.59 a gallon here on Monday and Tuesday morning. This afternoon I had to get gas and it was at 2.79 a gallon. They say it is going to hit 3.00 a gallon by some time in september around here. On the up side to this I just got the old moped out of the corner of the shop. Its a 1976 honda express. It holds just over a half a gallon of gas and runs for almost a week on one tank! I will be riding that baby back and forth to work here in the next week. She is a sweet runner!

    Just watched on CNN . they say the storm shut down the distribution pipeline because the power lines are out causing the pumps not to work and a shortage is quickly going uphill..

    You'd think they could run generators with all that fuel huh..
