Seeing the same thing here.

After spiking to $3 to $3.30 for regular in my area, as of today I haven't seen any higher than $3, and many are at $2.90 for regular.

One station has gas at $2.58 - only five cents higher than before Katrina! They get tanker trucks there twice a day (it's near my house, and I drive by taking my kids to/from school) and still keep running out, since they're at least a quarter cheaper per gallon than *anyone* else.

I don't know how they can sell so much cheaper than anyone else, but I got lucky and got some gas there yesterday. All they had left at that time was premium, but it was still cheaper than all the other stations' regular gas. I sneaked in at a rare quiet time and didn't even have to wait. Score! :-)

There are no lines at any other gas station, and overall traffic is lighter than normal. It was downright quiet on the roads over the weekend, and we are a big Labor Day tourist destination (Panama City Beach).

Sounds like the market is taking care of the problem, doesn't it?

I agree. It sure was quiet on Labor Day weekend.

I stopped by for gas Labor Day night at a huge gas station in town (26 pumps) and I was the ONLY one there buying gas.

At $3.19 a gallon, little wonder........
