what the hell..

I go for gas and there are lines out the ying yang everywhere. So I go to the gym and the news is playing stories about people who are talking about gas going to $5 tomorrow. It's everywhere in Charleston SC. The radio is saying it... everyone is saying it..

HEY morons.. What you think will become reality... and the reality is that your explorer/tahoe was a stupid purchase..

Sorry I'm just a little frustrated that I had to sit in line for 25 minutes to get 7 gallons of gas..

I saw 2 posts about it on the internet today and knew that we'd shortly have a post-Katrina like gas run. Dammit. I'd put up my old ebay ad again if I wasn't pissed about having to pay for gas to Topeka, tomorrow, right during this BS.

I got gas this evening and the station had signs up explaining that there is a 10 gallon limit.

GAASRUN?

what is a GAASRUN?

( I know it is a play on the tune B-Double E-Double R-U-N...but seriously nobody spells gas GAAS)

Just realized this thread was here. Gas has already hit $5.15/gal in metro ATL.

Why? Does most of our gas supply come through Galveston, or is this just stupid paranoia again?

Glad i filled up my cars for $3.57 yesterday....

Should keep me for 3-4 weeks if i try not to drive except to work and back.

Time to finish converting to E85 i guess. I'm getting sick of all this talk.

I heard a story today that said roughly 1/4 of the refining capacity of the US is in the area around Houston or whatnaught.

That's my interpretation of what I heard...but yeah, a good portion of our "Gas" (-oline) makes it's was to us from Ike-ville.

edit: Oh...but yeah, mostly just stupid paranoia..."Oh no! we won't be able to pay arificially-low gas prices for the next tankful!"
