Before you know it we will be ravenging for gas. Quite possibly a "Mad Max" society!!

 

hey, shortbus, if you decide to do it, take a picture and post it! he he!

 

I hear you guys, I am driving from Jersey to North Carolina this weekend, and I am afraid of what the gas bill will be....

 

Gas price just jumped from $2.34 to $2.79 overnight! What next?![:@]

 

I lowest I've seen here lately is $2.69. I heard today that if the Hurricane hits Galviston Texas and those refineries go down we could possibly see $5.00 a gal.!!! Yikes!!

 

I guess we've been lucky here in Laredo with low gas prices ($2.34). I'm sure there are gas stations out there already selling for $5.00 doing some price gouging. With all those evacuees needing gas so desperately. We've already had a few thousand people here coming from the coast including from the Houston area.

 

we haven't seen a jump yet, but then again we never dropped below $2.90. with the government spending so much on reconstruction efforts, they won't have the cash to subsidize the oil companies, and we'll have to make that up at the pump.

 

someone from another forum emailed me yesterday morning and said that he was already seeing 6.00+ a gallon, in the southern texas area..but im not sure exactly where...i got gas, just in case...

sams club,, all the way

 

Southern texas? They're probably gouging the evacuees! [:@]

 

yes, i do believe that he is in southern texas...he said that his car gets around 38mpg (must be nice), but he was almost empty when he realized that the prices had gone up so much
