I'm in middle GA. There have been lines out onto the roads with people trying to get gas. On the news they are saying that some reported the gas prices going up as they were pumping it. One person would pay one price and the next was charged a higher price.
Gov. Perdue is holding a press conference right now. From what I understand he has gotten reports of price gouging and says it won't be tolerated.
That happened at a Chevron where I was filling up my pickup this afternoon. When I passed the station 1/2 hour earlier the price was $2.799, when I came back to buy gas it was 2.899, and while I was pumping it went to 2.999. Cars which pulled in as I was pumping were paying the higher price, but my pump remained at 2.899 until I finished.
That was mid-afternoon, I don't know what the price may be by now. It was 2.589 yesterday with normal amount of cars at the stations. People have gone crazy around here today since the rumors started about gas rationing, I haven't seen anything like this since the '73 oil embargo.
