GAS GOING UP BY 5 PM EST
my experience today, just now
Posted on 09/11/2008 1:18:08 PM PDT by RBurke
We have information that gas is going up to 6$ a gallon and will be limited to 10 gallons per purchase after 5pm tonight. I first heard this in Gainesville Florida but we didnt beleive it. We heard it again around 3:30 pm in Ft White Florida at a school while picking up kids. The owner of a local gas station confirmed it and said he will put his prices up to 6$ per gal at 5pm. There are long gas lines and people are putting gas in any container they can find in Ft White. The reason we heard for it is, the refineries going offline for the hurricane plus opec slowing production. It looks like its true so gas up quickly.

There were lines at gas stations in Corpus Christi. I’m hoping Ike doesn’t decide to turn south.

The free market has such wonderful ways to stop hoarding.

"There were lines at gas stations in Corpus Christi. I’m hoping Ike doesn’t decide to turn south." So far, it looks like us in H-Town are going to get a direct knuckle sandwich from Ike with over 100 mph winds.

I just drove to get dinner, and gas lines are around the block at 4 stations I passed. The word is, 6.00 tomorrow. If it’s just a rumor, it’s spreading like wildfire.

It did, but we were sucked into some horrible alternate dimension parallel to our own.
Our minds were fractured by the event and we’re all simply hallucinating that the LHC didn’t destroy the Earth.
Now there’s a SciFi seed idea..

Remember that guy* who said God must be a dim because he was sending a hurricane during the GOP convention? Well, looks to me like hurricanes are definitely reminding people to:
DRILL HERE! DRILL NOW!
(*incidentally he's married to the SC dim chairwoman who yesterday said that Palin's primary qualification seemed to be not having an abortion.)

Thanks for the heads-up. We’ll stock up now before all the hoarders get here.
