Went to BJ's and filled up the van, the car and both gas cans. We paid $3.89 per gallon (usual price for here). There wasn't many cars this morning, wonder how it'll be tomorrow. I hope this will pass quickly and hopefully we won't feel the effect up here, but who knows.

gosh, I shouldn't say anything ... but .... last night it was still $3.82 ... will see if it's changed later today!

Are the gas stations just sort of boycotting the price hikes down there? In the hurricane footage, I saw at least three different gas stations with their lots empty and no prices on their signs. I thought it was just the high winds forcing them to take them down.

It sure would be great if we could mobilize a united, national front on the gas thing. Even a national law of no-driving-period days once or twice a year would send a pretty powerful statement. Sure, it would be inconvenient for a lot of us, but, ultimately, it would be a tremendous show of market power.

Um, what's going on here? I stopped at an Exxon station on the way in to work this morning to fill up. $3.69 a gallon. No lines, but it was 5:30 in the morning. I'd say maybe a fourth of the stations around here have power. The station I went to is very close to the entrance to the Johnson Space Center, which had power restored real quick.

I have no idea how much it was Saturday-Monday. Gas wasn't available the first few days.

I'm a little disappointed. It was $3.40/gal last week...

On a side note - the space center will re-open next Monday. I better get comp time for being on this stupid damage assessment team!

Glad you're okay, Tom. I was worried about you.

Gas here is anywhere from $3.99/gal to $4.19/gal for regular. I don't look at any other prices but my son tells me that premium is $4.69/gal as of yesterday.

I thought for sure that the prices would go up, but they haven't in my area. I paid 3.15 yesterday (I had .50 off from using my grocery store card) It is usually 3.65 for reg.

I use my grocery card too. I love it. I wait for it to be a dollar off a gallon.
I know it makes no difference if I did it at 50 cents twice as often but Im
brain damaged so it works for me.:D

no price changes here either.:) yet:rolleyes:
