Self-fulfilling prophecies.
Except for those in the disaster areas won’t be needing gas anyway since tens of thousands of their cars are underwater. I imagine they could make it 20 per gallon and it wouldn’t affect most of those folks.
I got stuck with almost no gas when there was a huge earthquake.
After that I said to myself I will always keep it at least half full.
That went by the wayside a long time ago.
I didn’t stick with it.
It’s probably a good idea.
So if they don’t NEED gas, then there isn’t a problem.
Congratulations! You just made SURE that they would all run out of gas.
FL. More gas than Hillary after a burrito run.
Gas Buddy does a pretty good job of tracking prices and trends and where you can get the cheapest fuel nearby.
Current trend is: Prices are RISING.
I paid $2.35 yesterday for Regular Unleaded at Kwik Trip. A half-tank cost me $20, so a full fill is back up to $40. Beats the $50 fill ups of a few years ago, but still. (Ford Escape, smallish SUV)
As with all things in life, EXPECT the best but PLAN for the worst!
Up 20¢ in the last two days in SE Missouri.
No for them. No?
Up six-cents/gallon since just yesterday!
Yeah, the gougers will be sure to screw us all and blame Harvey - whether that’s true or not!
Had about 2-3 cars deep lines in Lewisville TX tonight, at a spot that usually isn’t very busy at all. Middle grade was $2.56, up roughly .20 to .25/gallon.
Bought fuel for my car and my mower today in north central Texas. Only car at the gasoline store, paid 2.199. With at least 8 major refineries down for the next 1-3 weeks, it would not be a surprise to have some spot shortages in the short run.
But, futures prices of /RB were actually down today, so that implies the markets are thinking that the refineries will be restarted quicker and easier than some think.
DFW=Dallas - Fort Worth.
Took me awhile to figure that one out.
I've been faithful to that pledge ever since the 9-11 attack.
If prices get high enough, they’ll start trucking it in from Oklahoma or Big Spring.

Tried to top off today at the HEB in Lampasas on my way to OK. Every pump was out of service.
They will certainly run out of gas if everyone decides they need to “top off their tanks.”
