No Gas

[DONNIE D]

Anyone having trouble? There is no gas at the 7 stations within 2 miles of my house.

[BaylorPhillie]

Atlanta is apparently having the same problem in some parts of the city. The news said last night that part of the problem is that the gas pipeline that works with the east coast is sourced by Houston and Baton Rouge (I think.) Because of Gustav and Ike, the production slowed way down, but they are expected to be back up in 5-10 days, so "sit tight".

I was honestly shocked when I saw that gas here was 4.24 and up, when I just paid 3.57 back home. I talked to one of my clients in SC last week, and she said that it jumped to 5.25 in the days before Ike.

[BearTooth]

A couple of stations in Raleigh were charging $5.50 per gallon the day after Ike. The owners were arrested for "gouging."

We've got plenty of fuel here in Wilmington for ~$3.90.

[DONNIE D]

$4.39 was as high as it got here, now the signs are blank. I can't wait 10 days. Guess I'll ride into Columbia today and find some.

[nein51]

I didnt have trouble this morning at $3.59 in Waco.

[DONNIE D]

I didnt have trouble this morning at $3.59 in Waco.
I just saw the news Phillie was talking about. It's only the East Coast.

[Chief'sbear]

I have seen a few stations with bags on the pumps here in Dallas. I guess they were out. Last Thursday I went to 4 stations before I found one with regular unleaded. The price difference was .30, so it was worth it with my Tahoe.

The price is stable, but some areas had runs on gas for a few days. I think it has leveled out now.

[Texas Golfer]

There are no reports of shortages here in Killeen and the price is $3.58 throughout town.

[ChipOC]

My wife is happy when I don't have gas.

[atxtraveler]

Chip... we all are.

[ChipOC]

I did have some beans last night.

[atxtraveler]

I did have some beans last night.

I thought I smelled a foul odor drifting north from our border with San Antonio, I mean Mexico.

[Volunteer]

Donnie, the basic problem is that South Carolina does not have enough Mexican restaurants. Build more of those and gas will be no problem.

[Limnos]

One of my all time favorite movie scenes.

[DONNIE D]

Donnie, the basic problem is that South Carolina does not have enough Mexican restaurants. Build more of those and gas will be no problem.:D:D And the ones we have are well, not real.

[HappyRebel]

Great Movie....:lol:

[DONNIE D]

Just walked across the Highway, and the girl over there says they only have Premium. They don't know when they will get more. She thinks it could be longer than 10 days. Guess I need to watch the news more.

[HappyRebel]

Yep, just filled my tank in Temple...it's about the same price there as it is in Killeen 3.59

[biggmatt24]

I feel much better about the $3.51 I paid yesterday. Prices in SD are usually among the highest in the nation.

prices up north are usually more than the south too.

I'm going to have to find some gas by the airport on Thursday. I don't want to pay way too much for the rental company to fill it.

[wantsBU2win]

I have plenty of gas....had enchiladas, rice, refried beans, and chips and queso for lunch.

I'm good to go :lol:

[Wacoso]

:D:D And the ones we have are well, not real.

I had a customer from Columbia, SC in the store last year that owned a Mexican restaraunt in Columbi. I think it was the El Chico's. I think he said when I come out to ask for Mr. G or something like that. Either way, nice guy, dropped a couple hundred in the store. Loved the burger.

[Wacoso]

and 3.36 in Houston.

[BaylorPhillie]

The gas is "supposed" to get to gas stations today... but for a pretty penny.

My cheapest fill up in 3 weeks was in Ontario, Ca the other day. I was shocked at how low it was since Cali is usually really high.

[DONNIE D]

I found some yesterday afternoon. And only $3.89. I didn't think that was to bad since most places don't have any.

[Chief'sbear]

Please tell me you had an In & Out Burger? Next time you are there you need to have one for me. I am pretty sure they put crack in those things. I have been craving one ever since I returned from Ventura.

[BaylorBabe]

There are spotty outages here too.

[persona non grata]

Just got back from an extended vacation after the UConn game. Was shocked to find gas prices in New England lower than in Texas. Most places (VT, NH, MA) were $3.57-3.61. Highest I saw was on the Maine coast, and that was only $3.69.

[atxtraveler]

Now you know how I got up to 3 bills while growing up there.

PNG... hope your trip was great!

[BaylorBabe]

Why is PNG PNG? :lol:

[atxtraveler]

Why is PNG PNG? :lol:

[Bexar Fan]

What were you hoping for?

......this should be interesting? ;)

[Chief'sbear]

I saw a piece on TV about this today. I guess its the east coast like someone else said.

Bags on pumps all over the east coast and even into TN, etc.

[DONNIE D]

What were you hoping for?

......this should be interesting? ;)I was thinking the Glass place, but that's PPG!!! :)

:lol: I know what it means, I am not retarded.

My point was, if they are non grata, why are they non grata?

[DONNIE D]

If I was a bettin man, I'd say it's somebody that don't like.....................nah, can't be.

He posted on the who we are thread that he tried to get his bfans name and it was rejected so he went with png in some sort of protest. I think he is whitetrash.

Chip speaks the truth. I am who I say I am.

And to answer atx's question, NE was fantastic (except for the last 6-7 minutes of the game and the elevated blood-alcohol level of 95% of the UConn fans). I highly recommend the southern Maine coast, White Mountains of NH and Manchester valley of Vermont.

Thanks Chip. You're so smart! :)

....and I am simply a smart......donkey. :D

[BaylorPhillie]

Flew home tonight... saw the gas station close to my house was 3.49. Couldn't fill up the rental in Atlanta because all the gas stations I drove by were out. Oh well.

[nein51]

Chief, every time in I am Cali. I love it.

That would suck.

[BaylorPhillie]

I asked the woman who checked the car in if it was happening to everyone returning the cars. She said it was.

The sucky thing was that they rate the car apparently empty or full. No "I still have 3/4 of a tank", so I am only going to charge you xxx amount of money. They charge for the whole dang tank.

[DONNIE D]

Still the same over here. I did notice this weekend that you can find it on the Interstate pretty easy. I filled up last night in Florence SC on I-95 for $3.79. When I got home, there is still no gas on my road. I'll just sit on this till Friday.

[Bexar Fan]

Is sitting on gas even healthy?

[Chief'sbear]

Yesterday Waco was $3.39, and I get to Big D and its $3.69. Dang it.

[BearChick]

Chief, every time in I am Cali. I love it.

Have a T-shirt from there, but have never actually had a burger. Only been to Cali once. T-shirt was a gift.

If it gets above 2.50 again, there will be riots now that we all know if can get below 2 bucks.

[golsalax]

It was $1.59 when I got gas for my car after 5:15 pm today. I put the guzzler in the gas tank and then looked at how much it would cost when my eyes widened and mouthed, "$1.59!"
