A reporter requests to speak with someone who has changed their driving behavior in light of rising gas prices. Are you accelerating slower, carpooling, not making as many trips as you did, or other? If so, please respond to pr Thanks for participating and getting your story read in this major daily newspaper! |

Central VA: Citgo: Up another 10 cents by late afternoon, to $2.799/gal. That's 20 cents in just 24 hours. So-called "Lowest Price" followed, with an 11-cent increase to $2.699. Meanwhile, Sheetz and Exxon are standing pat at $2.599. |

| the local Shell has shot up a bit, to something like $2.979/$3.039/$3.139, as seen on my way into work this morning. | |
| Prices seem to be holding steady - probably as they are already too high. It's $2.83 for Sunoco Regular and $3.11 for Ultra. I filled my 1989 Cadillac Brougham after the meet which was about 30 miles away. She only used about $10 worth of Ultra. | |

Very minor Rita effect around here. -juice |

Thanks to a couple of local radio talk show hosts who stupidly said on the air last Thursday that everyone should go out and fill up or top off NOW before any price increase from the hurricane hits, we got a 14 cent bump this morning, which seems out of line with what everyone else is reporting. A great illustration of how panic CAN affect things short term |

...I did something I NEVER do (except for starting out on long trips) -- I topped off the tanks in both of my vehicles before Rita. (So go ahead and smack me upside the head!) But I saw what happened with Katrina, and I had luckily filled up before that storm hit too, so I was able to "ride out" the rapid rise. By the time I needed to fill up again, sanity was back. So I did the same with this storm. I can make it two weeks in my Frontier, about 3 in my Camry, long enough for prices to come back down (I hope).
