On the way home from work, I noticed that the gas prices had risen from $3.659 to $3.759 during the day. Every damn gas station was jammed with cars, blocking the roads! WTF? Our gas comes from barges from the New Orleans area, and not from Texas, where the refineries have been shut-down for Ike. Nevertheless, I can see some rise of prices, but this is gouging, folks! And everyone is buying into it, topping off their vehicles. If the distribution of gas is shut-off due to the storm, and if it takes a few days to weeks to get it back online, what is a couple of day's stockpile in your tank gonna buy you? Or, are people anticipating even higher gas prices? Right now, I can see the run on gas will deplete our local inventory, and no gas station will have any gas even quicker than normal.
Damn lemmings.
I got 14 gallons of premium in Midlife, and another 8 gallons stockpiled for the generator. Gee, it would be a crying shame to run out of gas and not be able to go to work... ~thu
