We were at $2.59 for gas. Today $2.69 (our area) and $2.76 up north of us.

Last week we were at $3.05, I filled up today at $2.87, and it is down to $2.73 about 30 minutes north. We shall see what happens with RITA!

On average here its $2.60-ish but around labor day it went up to $3.30!! Thankfully its back down but stays around $2.80... this is so ridiculous!

I think we are $2.65? to $2.80? // I think it is the same as lutting (stealing) & there should be a stop to it.. You know they are not the only ones that get hurt threw all of these disasters & yet they think they are able to robb us to death.. Gas Comp

Opps did I just get on my soap box or what.. Venting

Actually gas prices are legitamitely up because of Katrina. A LOT of our oil came from the ports down there that were affects and/or destroyed by Katrina, so they had to find alternative routes to get the oil to the rest of America... this took time and money and made us have a lack of oil so prices went up.

But you're right, a lot of stations WILL raise prices just to gain a larger profit by feeding off crisis that are happening around the world (the tsunami, which didn't affect our oil industry at all.. etc)

I know, it's crazy. I heard it's going to go up to $4.oo by the weekend...but then, it's hard to tell sometimes because the media likes to make us panic

The Energy Department is saying our gas supply resources will be compromised for 1 to 3 weeks. The refineries that supply up north (midwest) have been shut down. Look for high gas prices in the next coming weeks and short supplies.
