They said on the news (FOX) that it's priced to not sell . So by raising the price it discourages people from buying it. I think I would fill up if I was there.

I always keep extra gas on hand. There's about 45 gallons in my F150, another 17 in my ranger and whatever is in the tank of my wifes Taurus. Also another 25 gallons in cans from about a month back.

I never panic because I'm always prepared.

When I left work there were lines at stations blocking the road and the price was almost $4.00 a gallon, but at the station just down the road there was no line but price was still high at $2.99. There is no shortage, and I doubt there will be one, except for a few stations from the run on them.

We have a winner: the high price discourages panic buying and preserves fuel for use later.

I just saw the low price at $3.29 in my neighborhood (up 30 cents since Monday).
