Gas?!?!
 

So i get home and my mom is freakng out about gas and how it is seven dollars in detroit. i go fill up my truck (two tanks thirty gallons) and it is still normal here (lansing michigan). Is this everywhere or just michigan? Anyone know any causes? i knwo that 7.00 a gallon gas is reality for my lifetime but i am almost positive this cant last.

it was 3.88 on my way to work this morning but I havent left work yet

man its scary as shit
like seeing all those cars wall to wall at every gas station.
i had almost had a panic attack.

let me know
i am not seeing anythign baout it on the web but the radio was saying that it was "expected to have a sharp spike"
but how long could it last?

Was $3.46 this morning, $3.99 now... It's a bunch of Bullshit because of the "hurricanes.." Apparently we get our oil from Texas now. :mad:

wow $7 for regular? you guys are getting raped. There probably scared about the hurricane in the gulf since you guys are so far from the refineries anyway lol. Its only 3.65 here but prices usually go up when there are hurricanes in the gulf because of the lost production and/or damage to equipment

i paid 3.66 today...?...

might be price gougung, people afraid hurricane ike is gonna fuck everything up

Ours is up to 3.65, they're just ripping people off because of the hurricanes. Nothing happened to the refineries in LA AFAIK.

They'll go down once hurricane season is over.

so far noone has confirmed an actuall price hike.
like i have a feeling a rumor stated and spread after a little increase in price.

dude i jusst googled this shit, right now average price in detroit is 3.69 per gallon, it is one of the cheapest states to buy gas.

No offence to your mom but i hate it when somone just hears something and they assume it is true. And people seem to always be ready to accept the gloom and doom as truth rather than validating the infomation themselves

ya i was so pissd when i got home
i just looked it up , highest price was 5.40 a gallon.
one station in a 40 mile radius
everythign else was about ten cents under four dollars.

at least i got gas otherwise i would have had to wait till teh 16th to fill up.

There's some kind of scare going on around here in TN. Gas prices are shooting up by the minute and some stations have even put limits on how much u can buy in one visit.:eek:

ummm....

your mom probably heard some stupid speculative crap on the radio.

gotta love the knee-jerk reactions

prices got jacked up here too:mad:

probably gonna be close to $4/gal again tomorrow.

if someone sneezes on a refinery, prices go up 10 cents. mass price gouging, and the government aint stopping it...and we all know why. the hurricanes are putting prices here in ohio at 3.65 average. yay. rape the average joe who can barely afford gasoline. i love it.

the instant scares remind me of the southpark episode about global warming... lol.

Gas is $3.45 for 86 octane.

this suck i needed to get gas to day i thought i would wait it was 3.40 i thought it would go down becouse it was going down about 1 cent a day now its up to 3.50wtf?!?!?

My friends filled up at 5.35
it is jstu wrong like i dont understand how that is allowed?
they didnt pay more for this gas becasue it is still from the last delivery.
it is also a wake up call to how much gas affects everything.

it must be MAN BEAR PIG!!!!!!

there mostly factoring possible damage in Houston. Exxon has a big facility down there that has to do with much of the oil around the US if I remember right. If there's damage to those you will see prices jump quick. Like people said before this happens everytime there's a storm threatening the gulf especially in the areas on the oil rigs and refineries

Same here in NC. 2 days ago mid level grade was 3.77, Today at noon it was 4.45, We have gouging laws in effect as of right now from our governor, God bless him, :rolleyes:. Anyway he threatened the gas stops, ie. shortstops, pitstops, kangaroos, pantrys, whoever price gouges will be hunted down. Low and behold my station I stop at lowered theres back to 4.10. LOL, but not before I put a big fat 20 dollars in my tank. I want a refund. GADAMMIT.

If our president had any balls at all he would put an end to this kinda BS.. Gas prices weren't too bad last week. WTF. The new shipment hasn't even got to my station and they raise the price. BS, Wait for the trickle down effect before you charge me more than you paid for it. AHHHH... :all:

2.89/gallon with 70cents off at Safeway. :) It was 3.89 at about 9:30pm MST

in my area it's now up between $3.80 and $4.50 at some stations. yesterday people were going apeshit. mass cars at every station. i witnessed one guy cut someone off getting to a pump. the other guy helped him out of his car and into an ass-whoopin. then he moved the guy's car out of the way, so he could fill his up. craziness. supposedly it's up to $6.50 in little rock and conway.

hahah, it never went very far from 4$/gal here.

looks like 87 is running $4.15 so far today.

all the news stations last night still said that people were "prepairing for high gas prices"
but they also had teh number to call about gauging up every ten seconds.

If I am paying $4+ a gallon for gasoline I would like to pay .10 extra per gallon every time so the gas station can afford some KY in order to make the ass fucking more gentle.

I was seeing prices from $3.78-4.09 in Conway before I left yesterday, on place close to the college had $4.25! I couldn't beleive it. Dumbass Arkansas. When I got home all the prices were $3.65-3.75, or a little lower. Glad were not driving my car, that sucker hasn't been started in a week.

still 3.55 here
