Just got back from topping off the Jeep and getting a few goodies from the store.

We were told this morning that by this afternoon gas would be around $6 a gallon (if they didn't run out first) because of the refineries shutting down along the coast because of the hurricane. We just confirmed it with one of the oil companies.

When I went to fill up the long lines had already started.

Utter nonsense. The Attorney General has already warned against price gouging.

My neighborhood gas station had a twenty cent per gallon jump in price yesterday. I noticed today that it was back down to where it was the previous day.

The long lines were starting when I was coming back from the grocery store. I heard on the news earlier that a lot of stations are out of regular gas.
