Who says people don't respond to price signals? I filled up in Dallas, TX today, a town with a lot of evacuees from Houston, for $3.59 a gallon. No panic here, with more reason for a run.
Everyone should have 30 gallons of gas stored away in case of an outbreak of bird flu or the apocalypse or whatever.
I’ve got that much stored just by keeping my rigs full (20 gal in one Chev, 18 in the other, and a near full tank in my Nissan, 10g)
But I have another 75 stored for my generators or whatever.
Filled up here in north Georgia for $4.49 a gallon, and prices jumped above $5.00 a gallon for the super unleaded within another half-hour. My wife and I kept our receipts, and I also wrote my government representatives and urged them to hammer the Democrats on domestic production. We all know that this is the right thing to do, and the Republican party can ride this issue to TOTAL VICTORY!
Now I heard it was that Jackie Broyles and Dunlap over at Jackies Market in Murfeesboro thet was hoarding all that gasoline.
That what I heard.
Is Kentucky really in line of the hurricane?
We live in Estill Springs, half-way between Tullahoma and Winchester. I was in both of those towns today and saw gas prices ranging between $3.69 and $5.29 (one station in Winchester) a gallon for regular. Other than the one station, the highest I saw was $4.39 for regular.
While out and about, I was listening to Phil Valentine’s radio program and a man called from Murfreesboro. He said he’d just gassed up and the station owner showed him a fax he’d received from the gas company today. The fax stated that he had to raise the price to $5.41 a gallon in the morning! My first thought was, “Did other stations get similar faxes?”
How much truth there is to what he said, we’ll soon see I suppose.
I hope you’ll let us know if this proves to be true in the ‘Boro.
