No brag but I went to fill up early this morning and there was not a line for diesel! These guys were out of gas too. As soon as I started pumping, traffic immediately increased at this station! These people had a look of desparation like in a horror movie. "Is there gas? I'm running from the undead!" Started lining up behind me. I'm like "uh, this is an oil-burner."

I'm curious if some of the stations are price gouging now.

The station I finally found gas at charges 2.89 for 87 octane. Same station sold it for 1.99 2 days ago.

The law is vague on what constitutes price gouging during an emergency, but that is a pretty high percentage increase overnight.

2.89 for 87


:DamnSon:

That's nearly a $1/gal more than what premium, no ethanol cut, is going for down the road.

Yeah, I was pretty ticked about paying it, but it was my only option.

Gas lines this morning in Asheville. Ingals, large marketer, completely out. Gas lines at stations with gasoline. No price increases that I can tell. Gas lines are short - I was second at the station where I stopped - nothing at all like the 70s.

Checked the pumps this time I went by the store and 87 was 1.99.

2.69 for the 93 with no ethanol.
