Gee, maybe I got lucky. Had to fill yesterday at $3.25 up in East Brunswick. By the time it needs more the Ike spike will probably be gone.

Constantly steering people back to the topic at hand. I like it.
 
Anyway the gas prices aren't affecting me much, since I don't drive any more than I have to anyway/.
 
It's more irritating than anything. Today gas was $3.429 in the morning and I was thinking I could wait until afternoon to fill up. Boom, $3.599. The gas prices go down when I don't have the money to fill up, but then I get money and the price goes up.

Of course it did...that's because I finally bit the bullet and decided to get an all electric heat pump installed. By the time they're finished next week, oil will probably be down to $50 per barrel, but by some freak of nature electric rates will double and we'll have an extra cold winter.
 
Now, had I stuck it out with my oil furnace, how much you wanna bet oil would have gone to $200 a barrel?

Maybe I should listen to the conspiracy theorists...
 
Gas went from $3.59 on my way to work to $3.99 at lunch time at several of the local stations. Anyone under $3.99 had them lined up into the road. Crazy.

I just went by the local Shell. They dropped 10 cents from yesterday. Now they are only 4 cents above Costco at $3.69 a gallon. They have diesel at $3.99. Add to that the 5% discount and it costs almost nothing to drive my SUV

Thanks, andre! The rest of us appreciate it!
 
Haven't seen that gas shooting up here as of lunch time. We will see. Best thing people could do is cut down on driving for a week or so. If higher prices "due to hurricane" result in fewer miles driven the prices will come right back down. Time to put a stake through this vampire.

Google "gas panic." It seems to be mostly a southern thing at this point, but stations are rationing, running out, charging close to $5 a gallon, etc.

Topped off two tanks ahead of IKE. I should be good for a month. We had a 3.58 to 3.99 run up the day they pointed IKE at the Gulf.

Hope my wife filled the Accord. I'll hate contributing tp a spike.
 
Not about to drive up to East Brunswick (about 90 miles) to see if it's still $3.25....
