I just paid 3.00 a gallon in Raleigh, NC. Friend of mine has a station he is out of regular and hopes to have some in 5 days.

The pumps are dry here. Can't buy it at ANY price. I paid $2.92 yesterday at one of the last stations pumping. They closed 10 minutes later with the line still in the street. School districts can run the buses for 4 more days. Supposed to be more fuel coming in today.

Reminded me of the Arab Oil Embargo of the 70's. We are in for it folks.

Gas Prices

Here in SW Fl. it is still below $3.00.
$2.69 for regular, but I have seen it between $2.61 and $2.65.
Wonder how long that will last...

$2.85 last night and so far this morning. Locally in West Houston, regular is about gone. I asked my usual corner store when he might expect another shipment and he said he should have had one by now. No idea when we'll get more.

With 7 refineries offline now, it looks like it's just gonna get worse.

$3.09 for regular (what my Honda Civic takes).

I'm just glad I'm not driving an SUV or Hummer (as if I'm the Hummer type....LOL).

My car gets about 33 MPG and even better on the highway. I do mostly city driving.

$3.10 for premium in Atlanta last night, at a Chevron station. Quik-Trip was charging $3.35 and the Shell station near my house was out of gas. Had to wait in line a short time, even at 11:15 pm. Am considering the merits of bicycling. :wink:
