Holy Cow! Gas prices are skyrocketing!

[Laura's Babies]

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

It was $3.23 a few days ago. My mom filled up for $3.28. It said something on the news about going up to $4.90.

People were panicing here in MI. Long lines at stations, blocking intersections, and causing accidents. Madness!!

It was $3.95 last I saw.

[cali]

yup, our gas is up to 1.45 a liter. thats a little over $5 a gallon US.

[Twisterdog]

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.

Did you see the Governor's remarks at 6pm? She said there had been unconfirmed reports of $6/gal from Kalamazoo and Grass Lake. She gave an 800 number to call if you have actually seen those prices. The state will prosecute for gouging. They did, successfully, after the black-out from 2003.

When I bought gas this morning there was only one other pump being used. Hubby filled up this afternoon - no big deal, no lines.



It was $3.69 here just a couple of days ago; went up to $3.89 overnight; then to $3.99 here in Dexter this afternoon. I heard it had gone to $4.49 in Chelsea.

I'm up near Vancouver, BC Canada and it hasn't hit us yet. I filled up tonight for $1.31/litre which is roughly $4.95/gallon. Hey, that's cheap for us.

[slick]

I went out this afternoon to pick up a few groceries and the price at the pump is now $1.51/litre. It jumped 20 cents overnight. I'm sure glad I filled up last night.

[Moesha]

AAA says the average price of a gallon of gas in the US went up 6 cents today. Sure wish that was all it was here, more than 50 cents overnight just isn't fair.

[kt_luvs_kitties]

It went up to 5.49 last night, BUT today it is 3.99-4.52 again

[Sirrahsim]

We filled up in Virginia Beach yesterday for $3.49.

[Ginger's Mom]

Well, knock wood, we don't seem to be having a huge problem here in NJ. Yesterday it was $3.21, I just looked on-line and it was $3.45. A big jump, but I am not hearing about any shortages nor long lines.
