So how are your gas prices?

Post by **R00k** » Wed Aug 31, 2005 5:07 pm

Our gas prices here went up by a quarter today - to around $2.86.

I know someone who runs a gas station here in town, and they have been told to expect the price to go up again tomorrow, to about $3.00.

Has the damage started hitting everyone else's pumps yet?

spotted regular unleaded last night at $2.99. snapped a pic on my phone, let me snag it.

I'm literally afraid to look. But I'm positive that its either 3.00 or 3.15.

The government announced that we're going to tap our reserves (for what that's worth).

So with that news, maybe it won't be going up again tomorrow, but we'll see.

Where are you again? I haven't seen it that high anywhere here yet, but I'm sure it's a matter of time.

I just saw $3.39 at an Exxon (near DC).

Hooray for price gouging.

Ours went up last night to around $2.80 per gallon...has stayed there all today. Was watching the new earlier and they are saying it's going to get around $4.00 soon. O_O

Monday=2.53
Tuesday=2.79
Today=3.17

Yea, CNN's site said $4.00/gallon is almost a given at this point. The only question is how long it will stay there.

I think I paid $2.70 for mid-grade this morning here in Charlotte. News is saying that we may have shortages this weekend, and I'm sure the price has gone up since I filled up.

$2.68 here.. and I consider myself lucky after reading everyone elses prices.

BTW, my gf called me today and told me that her entire county is pretty much out of gas. Even the Wal-Mart gas station doesnt have any. I hope this isnt a sign of things to come.

Heres a short article on CNN about it:

BTW, in the Netherlands they pay over 6 bucks a gallon.. jeebus. Venezuelans pay 12 cents/gal.

It's true though, gas prices are as high as ~$5.00/gallon in Atlanta.
