I never even thought about it until tonight but this hurricane is about to drive up prices.  I work in a gas station and the manager had to come in to night to change the prices.  She expects it to go up again in the morning.

You see because of the hurricane and evacuations they are having to close some of the refineries in Texas and of course are using that as an excuse to jack up prices.  Most of the gas stations around here have not gone up yet,
 so I assume most around the country have not.

So if you read this tonight or this morning try to get your tank filled as early as possible to try and beat the rising prices.  Some think the prices could be near $5 by Monday (I hope not)

Hopefully the prices will come down quickly after the storm passes but it's better to be safe than sorry.  If the hurricane gets to bad it could mess up the roads making it difficult to open businesses (including refineries) or the storm could cause damage to the refineries themselves.  It probably won't but I plan on topping off my tank tomorrow morning to be on the safe side. (Every one was closed by the time I got off work tonight.)

Every one in the storms path I hope you stay safe.  If you plan to stay put please make sure you have enough supplies.

 Damn money mongers!

Here in Houston, the gas prices have gone up a little but not much.  I think, you might want to look into the average gas price in the country, and then if the price is way too high, report them for gouging!

even way up here in ontario canada, prices went up about 23 cents this morning.  I was asking the guy at my station if we even get gas from texas... for a moment he looked like he was gonna give me some diplomatic answer, then he looked around for his boss and whispered "hell no."
THAT'S GREAT!!! THANKS!!!

  Darn it!  Up 23 cents!!  that is crazy!!   I am in Ontario as well and that is a totally unexcepted increase!   Argh!  Haven't left the house yet today though....

Greedy people suck!

Well guess I'm battoning down the hatches. Storm flaring up in my area now, grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Got tornado warnings sw of me heading ne, again I state, grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Ah there be the thunder! expected to hit us around 5:50P.

Got the oldest home wiith the grnadbaby. Called the son who was hanging out at the local county lake, and gave him heads up, so he's most likely heading in. Youngest at work, and I have called them to have the recept turn on the radio to catch what's up.

Got another storm tracking behind that one now, they are training.  

OK GUYS, THOUGH SHALT NOT HIT MY HOUSE!!!!

i I got off work this morning and drove around to 6 diffrent gas stations around here looking for gas and i finally found one who was down to like 90gallons i filled up and put some in a gas can in my trunk. i wish my bf would have listend to me anf got gas friday morning... oh well we should be good on gas for a week or so. although i cant go anywhere now

It's already up as high as five dollars a gallon or more in a few places around here, or so I've heard, which is something akin to $1.00+ spike. Yesterday my coworker was an hour late because he had to drive to three different gas stations before he found one that hadn't run out, and then waited in line for over half an hour. This is one of those times I'm glad I don't drive - one less thing to worry about lol

Rumor has it that down here in the south we might break the six or seven dollar mark in some places before all this is over. I really hope not - that would ruin my plans to go to New Orleans next weekend. I hope it isn't so terribly flooded that we can't make it down there, and I hope the gas prices aren't so high that we can't afford it.

Only a 10 cent jump here in kc so far.
