Gas Prices and Availability Thread
Free Republic ^ | 05.11.21 | Freedom56v2

Given the gas price hikes and shortages, I thought it might be helpful to have a thread posted where people can provide information such as location, current price of gas, the percentage increase, and availability.

Northwest suburbs of Chicago. I bought fuel yesterday at $3.09/gallon, but the highest I’ve seen is $3.29/gallon at a Shell near my house.

Thanks, Biden. It’s back to $50 to fill my tank.

$3.69 at a Costco south of Los Angeles. I don’t expect any shortages here though the price may rise. Amazing how recalling Newsolini brought us some sanity.

So far, in the central gulf coast of Florida, there has been no shortage or long lines. Yet!
My son, a Computer Science and EE Major as well, is incredulous at how a company with such great responsibility could be so utterly unprepared for such an event.
His opinion is, that when this is finally resolved this company needs to be punished HARSHLY for extreme negligence. I am an old MSEE and I must agree with my son. There is NO EXCUSE for a company with such great responsibility totally unprepared to rapidly deal with such an event. It is pure NEGLIGENCE.
I filled the tank today at a Shell station with Premium. A requirement for this vehicle, and the price was $3.489. A week ago the same station was priced at $2.269.

Wow!

That is a lot of change!

My daughter was travelling in NC and TN last week for work...So glad she is back safe...Cannot imagine how frustrating this shortage would be for travelers and those living in RVs/Vans.

Already purchased some time ago so effective price is Zer0.

I find fact that mostly RED states are affected and the timing (tourist/travel Memorial Day) very “interesting” coincidence...

I have ordered more tin foil...Commercial grade

30 miles E of Richmond VA.

Country gas station which has 3 islands. Usually 1 or 2 customers. Today 6 customers with one waiting. 2.99 for regular and that’s up about 20 cents from last week.

OUCH...That is a nasty increase!

I am surprised Colonial does not have some type of manual overrides on these systems...

Simple, these prior administrations were aware of these infrastructure vulnerabilities, and even said they would be addressed.

I find it unlikely the biden knew anything.

Daughter in suburban NJ says her local station is dry. No prices posted. I suspect that, if you know the station owner, there might be black market gas. That’s how it worked during the gas famines in the ‘70s. I was there.

Me, I live on a small farm in SE Ohio. Local stations were $2.98 for regular, as of 6:00 PM Tuesday. My cars are always at least 3/4 to full, and I have almost 500 gallons in the “farm tank”. I gloat.

It ain’t gonna last.....THIS TIME. This has revealed an Achilles’ heel to our enemies.
