    Just came back from the vet and the gas station down the road is out of Unleaded and Plus and price on they had for the unleaded was $4.49.

    At the vet's some people were saying that while in line for gas a station ran out and people started yelling and fighting. It's getting crazy around here.

    I just wonder what it's going to be like tomorrow. It's the Univeristy of TN's home opener football game and they often have 100,000 in the stadium many of who drive long distances. There isn't going to be any gas. We had thought about going to the game but decided not to. I bet there will be a lot of cars with gas stolen out of the tanks tomorrow.

    They said on our news last night that gas was going to jump up 1.50 a gallon, then another station said that was a rumor but people rushed out to fill up, causing a shortage, however they did say it was going to go up to around $4 a gallon at some stations, but not all of them. I haven't heard anyone say today rather it has jumped up any or not today but our attorney general has warned everybody, he IS watching for price gouging and they will be delt with accordingly. I am surprised to hear it is going up in Tennessee already so Lord help us here!

    Due to all that is going on in the gulf, the price per barrell today has gone up.

    Price in San Francisco is DOWN to $3.93 for ss unleaded. I had paid as much as $4.49 in the past several months. Now, less than $4 sounds cheap.

    It is 4.52 here, but the news said it will go up to 5.25 by tonight.

    I had to wait 30 minutes last night at the pumps, and THEN it said you can only get 10 gallons at the time. I start to pump, and then did not feel any movement in the line, I pulled it out, and it was literally just dripping

    By today, the local gas stations near my home are OUT of gas. None

    My husband had to drive 30 minutes to find gas


    Thank you so much Michelle!

    I've been BOO'd!!! Thanks Lori!

    Gas has been about $4 per gallon here since spring.

    Gas here was $3.59 last night and $4.10 this morning. I was able to get 10 gallons for $3.53 this afternoon when I took Percy to his new home. I filled up the rest of the way for $3.79 with 5% off at BP. I also got 5% off of the first batch of gas with my Discover card.
