What are you paying for gas?

[Jeff Smith]

I just topped off here in Southern MD. 3.19 for Regular. I listen to the police scanner alot and drive offs are rampant. Local Sheetz and WaWa stations have extra staff on each shift now. One of them stands outside at all times with a clipboard noting all tags for customers paying by cash. Coorporate won't let them make it Cash in Advance only sales.

Per the Sheetz lady, Several local stations are already out. The weekend will be a mad house around here as we are sitting next to a Naval Air Station where the Blue Angels are performing this weekend at the airshow. I am sure with the increase in visitors, Gas will be scarce through the weekend.

And I picked a great weekend to have the tint put on my windows. Was told I could not roll the windows down for 2-3 days. Great Timing huh?

Here on Long Island, Regular is roughly $3.15- $4.00 a gallon. The crappy thing is that I have to run 93 octane in my truck! lol I only use Exxon/ Mobile gas (convinient little Speedpass!) and it seems their 93 is running $3.65- $4.15 a gallon.

i think the oil manufactures are trying to justfy there increases by causing a artificial shortage!!!!! We had the problem with electricity out west a few years ago.. never a shortage, just manufactured in the board rooms of greedy electric executives... now look where they are... at the grey bar motel most of them...

Filled up my truck this morning @ about 6:30 (had to wake up @ 5 to take a trailer back, not too happy about that) for $3.29. A couple of hours later, is was up to $3.37 for Reg.

The price here was over $3 and they are pretty much out of gas here in town. Last thing I heard emergancy management was shutting down all gas stations. Some friends here are stuck because they have no gas left and they can't fill up.

Gas here in southern Vermont has jumped over $0.90 per gallon already. Yesterday jumped $0.50 alone.

The pipelines are supposedly back up and working but only in a limited capacity. It appears that the damage to the refineries around LA is not as bad as initially thought. However, it is a different story for the oil platforms in that part of the Gulf.

Gas was scarce around here yesterday. Prices have jumped .50 to .75 in places. Most people panicked initially and began filling up everything. But most places that were out of gas yesterday are back up and running today. The oil company gas stations (Shell, Texaco, Chevron, BP) seem fine. It is the independents who are having a hard time getting gas. Regular is running 2.95 to 3.50 depending on location.

Southern California so far has plenty of gas. The current price for regular is $2.91.
