So I got a call earlier from my mom talking about how she was happy that she had gotten gas earlier on in the day, because gas jumped 12 cents back home today from morning to afternoon. She also said that they are asking people to limit their purchases to 10 gallons when possible. 70's gas scare again? ------------- Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo |

Speculation on Refineries being knocked out by Ike, that's all it is. Oil prices are down below $100 now but gas wholesale prices jumped due to the fact that the bulk of our fuel refining is done on the Texas gulf-coast.
Edit: That said, I doubt Ike will make landfall as a Cat3. Probably a strong Cat2, but not a Cat3, we've been seeing colder than normal gulf temperatures this season which means that there's less warm water to allow the storm to gain strength. ------------- <Removed overly wide sig.

USAF, I think you might see some "gouging" cases going to the attorney general if that kind of stuff keeps up in your neck of the woods.

Couldn't you just fill up to the limit, stop the purchase then fill up again right then? My gas gauge was reading right above empty so i filled up this morning. I was also glad because the price jumped up a good bit also during the day. |

The Mayor of Houston issued a stern warning against price gougers and whatnot, so I think that might be a reason gas prices stayed low at least until I filled up. -------------

Everyone is saying it might go up as much as a dollar tonight, so I wouldn't be surprised. ------------- Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo |

As much as I don't like living in Jersey, cheap gas makes the state a passable place to live. |
