Ain’t no possibility here.Some stations are already out of gas.
I am from Bama and I have seen some gouging. It is a shame people try and make a profit off of disaster.
God protect anyone who stays in Galveston. The pic on drudge makes it look really bad.
Why hasn’t the Messiah appeared in the Gulf of Mexico to still the storm and calm the sea? Doesn’t he care?
The refusal to let the market set its own price during emergencies is the reason gas always sells out. Now we can all take solace in the fact those evil capitalists didn’t get to raise prices while we sit here with no gas.
I emailed Sessions and Shelby (Senators - Alabama) this morning over this situation.
Congress knew after Camille that we shouldn’t put “all our eggs in one basket” meaning putting most of the oil production down there.
DRILL ANWR NOW!!!!!!!!!!!
Most stations in Jacksonville AL are out of gas, the ones that have gas are limiting your purchace to 8gl’s. I saw gas at $5.99gl on I65 in Cullman this afternoon. Its like 1974 as far as the lines go.
Could someone please explain to me why the gulf shutting down is causing such drastic things to happen?
I know some of our gasoline comes from the off-shore drilling but I thought that surely there would be other sources to take up the slack during this time.
Does Alabama rely more heavily on gulf oil?
North Mississippi we had gas at $3.51 this morning. By Noon it was $3.71 and by 5pm its at $4.50/gallon. There is no way to justify the increase because none had shipments today. The gas on the next delivery may cost more but today’s increase is simple price gouging.People are panicking and there are lines at the pump. Many stations are out of gas, some just out of regular and they are working on the others. Damn shame. They should publish the names of the higher ups of the gasoline industry and let the mad consumers take care of them. One is a little more caring when their name is on the line.
Huge shortages of gas here in NC. $5 a gallon, if you can find it.
Already started in Mobile, AL today. This morning on the way into work, I passed no less than three stations at $3.63/gallon. This afternoon, the cheapest I saw was one at $3.72 and two or three at $3.82 (all in West Mobile). The predominant pricing in midtown and downtown was $3.99 per gallon.
Interesting that the downtown prices rose faster than the suburban prices.
I guess everybody is panicing because there are longs waits for gas and gas stations are running out of gas here in Bham. FYI
Gas dropped .4 cents in my area of Cal this morning.
