$2.41 for regular just a few minutes ago.

As I said, go to a gas station with bars in the windows. It's a place where you never fill up, but they're always the last to have gas.

Damn check out Plano! Barely any gas at all. I filled up on Tuesday when I read that the biggest Oil Refinery shut down. I knew this was going to happen. I filled up for $1.97 and it is now $2.67 at the same gas station. (RaceTrac on Inwood and Maple)

No, that's the proper response when panic buying starts to set in. Jack that price up so the assholes who are filling up every fricking mason jar they have in their house with gas stay their idiot asses home and then the only people buying gas will be people who actually need it and will pay the price.

But, but, but, GOUGING!

$2.29 in Wichita Falls this morning. Everything seems normal. Where I tend to shop for fuel the fella said he gets his from either Vernon, Texas (which is about an hour due west) or Oklahoma...doesn't anticipate a problem, guess we will see

This happened as well in BR when all the NOLA people evacuated during Katrina. Food was all gone too for awhile.

I just assumed routes would be re-directed to offset temporary disruptions...seems reasonable to me and in doing so the price of fuel would naturally need to rise in the short term

silly me

Several area QuikTrip stations, including the one at Alpha and Preston roads in North Dallas were out of gas completely Thursday morning. Quiktrip spokesman Mike Thornbrugh said the outages were part of the companies plan to make sure North Texans can gas up throughout Harvey's aftermath. "You are not going to have enough supply to meet your normal needs," he says, acknowledging that the news of a restricted supply is spiking demand. "So what Quiktrip is doing — we've been through this before with other hurricanes — we're taking half of our [135] Dallas-area stores and designating certain stores to be kept full of product. The reason we do that is you have no logistical way when you have a run on product that is short to keep every single outlet full of gas." Customers can check out Quiktrip's website to see which stores currently have fuel available. Thornbrugh says Quiktrip is still waiting for any information about when supplies — which he says are down about 6 million barrels a day, might be back to normal. Until supplies are back to normal, it's important that people keep their wits about them, he says. "What we're asking everybody is 'Please, don't panic,' Thornbrugh says. "There's going to be product and there's going to be gasoline, it just may not be what you were used to in the past."

Guys, go to South Dallas or where the Hood is, not West Plano or Frisco.

I already filled up but frig that. I am not carrying in the car today so no Oak Cliff for me.

Not to mention I think people are skipping work and gas hunting at the moment.
