Oil is currently at 101.25/barrell. What I can't figure out is why it is 3.99/gallon and then a mile away it is 3.55/gallon. When oil peaked at $147/barrell I never paid $5/gallon. This "speculation" driving up my gas cost is total BS!!! I never remember, until the past 5 years, gas costs jumping up so drastically when hurricanes threatened the gulf. Makes me want to beat the @$$ of whomever is responsible for this BS!!

Got a daughter inlaw that is a regional man. for a convient store chain. She was told to raise it $.50 today and $.50 tomorrow. Sumthin from gal at a terminal here in Collins about "winter" gas comes available 9/15 that has already been factored in so shouldn't be shortages. Might have to close terminal/ration for the next 3 or so days cuz of the storm panic for what "summer" gas is left. Not a lotta sense in all this for sure... :roll:

Just checked gas prices around Memphis, and we are still under $4.00 but just barely.

I agree the gouging! I thought it was illegal to price gouge?

most of those texts just add to the hysteria. i have had people calling saying it is $5.00 this and that and that we were all out of gas and that they were rationing gas. I just so happened to be on empty. I filled her up, went in got a cup of coffee, shot the bull to some of the guys hanging around in there, and went about my business. talked to the manager and he said i should not worry about it. this coming from the gas staion i have been filling up at since i could drive.
