I just swipe the card put the pump to automatic, crawl into the back seat and curl up into the fetal position while sucking on my thumb and wait for it to stop.

This will definitely be intresting the next few weeks. First lets start with gas the U.S. has reserves how much nobody really knows. From what has been said on tv that 30% of fuel comes from that area. So hopefully when the reserves start flowing prices should be stable. Now besides gas im really interested in how is the rest of the world going to view this? Let us not forget a few months ago we just sent millons of dollars in relief funds for tsunami. Will it be the same for us?

um i think its 700 million barrals. the last time they took it out was for a hurricane a year ago and they only took 5 mill out. and since bush said the reserves are open the gas price has actually went down like .5 percent. which is what like a cent or 2. so it may have stalled the panic for maybe a few hours.

Yes they say that it is 700 millions barrels, but it`s of CRUDE oil, the stuff still has to be refined into gasoline, diesel, ect.
And there are also refineries in that area that are not functional

Who are they going to get? every gas station in America it`s not 1 or 2 it`s all of them

At least the culprits would be easy to find, if that`s the case.

here in canada, yesterday we were paying 0.99 for a litre(3.8 litres to a gallon), today, it jumps to $1.25 per litre.i believe the government could lower the taxes on gas if they wanted to but then they would lose money. i put $25.00 in my car today and i got a third of a tank. i called it my govenrment supplied enima. that`s what it felt like to me. :doctor:

People:
Buy gas as much as possible, here in Charlotte People bump their cars to move other cars out of the way to get gas. It is crazy, I am glad that a lot of populations in US don’t carry guns with them, because we would see some shooting going on.
It is like in the woods out there, people eating each other like wolfs.
Police can`t keep up with the traffic problems caused by gas shortages.
Oh my GOD where it is all going.
It is the end of the world,
Please HELP!!!!!

u dont think the 5 dollar one is gouging do u? haha

It was probably media hype, but I only had a 1/4 tank and with the long weekend coming up I wanted to get some gas. The BP at Mt. Vernon & Chamblee Dunwoody in Atlanta was swamped...I had to wait in line for about 20 minutes and paid $2.99 for premium.

Its one of those things where I`d rather be safe than sorry and enjoy my long weekend!

im almost positve thats price gouging right there.

either way, i just saw the 10 o`clock new and they mentioned it being a rumor. they said that gas prices are expected to rise but that gas will not run out...

[pappy]

yea thats what i figured after watching some more news.

[Maligno]

Hell ya its way too much. Just watched on the news last night, 8.99 for premium. The even interviewed the guy. It`s all BS if you ask me. If you are on "E" and the only gas you can find is 4.00 per gallon what are you going to do?????
