    Default Might want to fill your gas tank before Ike hits.

    Even if you're nowhere near the hurricane zone. $5/gallon gas reported in South Carolina.

    I wouldn't be planning any unnecessary trips over the next two weeks either.

    Aw man, just when gas prices were getting "reasonable" again.

    Yep. Did it last night. We're on E85 anyway, but as regular gets more expensive E85 does go up a smidge, too.

    I just heard on the News that gas prices are up 0.50-0.75 a gallon around the country and up $2.00 a gallon in Houston.

    Last night gas was only up 20cents in Houston... I wonder if it has changed since then... or if it is just media hype freaking everyone out.

    I don't ever do this, but I enjoy watching the chaos on the news, people lined up, waiting hours for gas. Sometimes the hype is soooooo ridiculous.

    Gas at the station by my house was 3.49 this morning, but it was 3.89 2 hours later. A bunch of gas stations downtown are totally out of gas and the cashiers were taking down their signs. Ugh.

    Bumped up about 20 cents over the last couple of days but still a "reasonable" Ha! $3.79 per gallon at most stations in my area. Of course $3.79 when you drive an Escalade is still painful.

    Think $5 is bad? How about $5.50?

    ^^ 2 of the 3 stations near my house were out of gas and the final prices listed were $4.99 this evening. This just sucks. Luckily I filled up earlier today and it was only $3.79. (I put regular in my BMW, they hubby would freak, but that's all they had.)

    I personally think they (gas stations) are taking advantage of people in crisis. Prices still going down 2 cents about every other day here. $3.67 roughly now.

    Premium is recommended for my Escalade also but I have been running regular for over a year. No noticeable change in performance or mileage. But to be safe, you probably shouldn't tell your hubby you have been sinning by buying the cheaper stuff for your BMW.

    I agree TM. But hopefully the consumers can vote with their feet. And I guess in a short window of time I would rather have gasoline at 5 bucks a gallon than no gasoline at all. You pay it and move on. But you also remember who fucked you and give them no business in the future.

    I'm sure some are, the ones charging 5.00 a gallon.

    however gas is going down around the world due to supply and demand for the world oil supply. Ike is only going to target US oil supplies, and more importantly refineries.So Shell, Mobil can keep buying oil, but, they may not have any place to refine it into gasoline here in the US, or it may not be produced as quickly.
