Filled up for $3.50 a gallon in Richmond, VA this PM - absolutely no lines. One woman at work was freaking out, but she’s a fruitcake anyway and no one took her seriously. I do expect some price increase shortly, though.

Same kind of think happening in Virginia. I heard, only heard, didn’t see, that gas was $5 a gallon at Sheets. Can anyone confirm that?

Oh, for cryin’ out loud. Whine on. I've been paying over $3.90 a gallon for gas in MI for months. Over $4 just a few weeks ago. Heads up: we don't get hurricanes in Michigan. Sheesh. :)

They started rationing gas in Asheville NC—10 gallons at a time. However, I exceeded the 10 without a problem.

Gas here in Missouri was still $3.44. But there were lines locally and I decided to top off. No doubt there will be a supply disruption and prices will spike. When our national mindset in Washington Dunce Cap is to put all of our energy resources in one basket, these kinds of government created problems will only get worse with every subsuquent storm.

I don’t know what town you were referring to. But the Houston ship channel has something like 25% of the national refining capacity. Refining towns like Baytown and Missouri city, Tx, Pasadena.......and yes they are smack in the middle. Another notable locations for refining are Port Arthur, TX. My step son works there. And yes, they are shut down and evacuated.

No lines in Florida this morning - but with storm damage, that might not hold.

Most of the gasoline distributed throught the USA is done by pipelines originating in Houston. When the refineries go done, so do the pipelines creating shortages. For those in the South, Southeast and Mid-Atlantic, here’s a link to a map that shows the Colonial Pipeline main trunk distribution http://www.colpipe.com/ab_map.asp

That’s cheap, it’s still 4.29 in Chicago. The home of high taxes, huge corruption and the home of Nobama’s campaign.

A run on Gasoline here in SW VA too. It seemed to begin around Noon today.

Several gas stations where I live are completely out of gas right now, and cars are in line out into the roads at the stations that DO have gas. We filled both of our SUVs this morning before it got crazy, because I got wind of it early this morning when I heard a gas truck driver talking about it while I was standing in line buying some smokes.

This is media stoked. Wait and see whose fault they (media and DIMs) start claiming it to be.

In Memphis, its worse. People are just stupid. I had to get gas as I was out. Paid $3.999 just so I would have to be in a 25 deep line. No exageration

I live in southern IN, right across the Ohio River from downtown Louisville - about 7 miles. There are 3 gas stations near me (right off I-64) - one of them, as of 9:00 this evening was at $4.19, another was $3.99, and the other was CLOSED - very, very unusual!!

Gas went from $3.56 to $4.19 here in central Alabama in less than 24 hours. We also have several stations sold out of all grades.
